I also have no experience with using Gnome. Artsd conflicts with ALSA like 
nothing else AFAIK.

I would really recommend fluxbox if you've tried it and frozen in fear at the 
apparently blank screen going '"erk, where are all my lovely widgets and 
icons" - and that has sent you screaming for the comfort of Gnome or KDE - 
You don't need 'em, you won't miss 'em. Right-click and it all comes up on 
one menu. It's beautiful and it doesn't get in the way, it's easy to 
customise and does what you need it to do. Since I got used to it, everything 
else seems clunky and over complicated. It's worth geting used to for 
resource intensive stuff like music making even if  you resort back to 
something else for your office & internet work.

God I'm such a chauvinist.
