I don't know what you're getting at, but I hope you understand the meaning
of "potential". It's evident that e17 has got it right especially when its
fancy graphical effects works smoothly on an AMD K6. That's a start, because
in that way we know nothing is choking (especially in KWin where there are
random artifacts if compositing is disabled). What I'm saying is that it
_can_ be comparable to KDE's usability, sometime in the future when it's
stable.
For now I have to keep LXDE as a secondary environment.
Anyway what WM needs proprietary graphics drivers?
How could I forget - e17 actually has _a lot_ of
potential. More than KDE
as a whole.

But that's all it has - potential.
I'm an e17 and KDE user and IMHO you are wrong, just because KDE is stable
and e17 very, very often is a PITA. I might be wrong, but I guess KDE is
able to do nearly everything e17 could do + a little bit more. The only
reason not to use KDE3 or KDE4 is the usage of resources by this DE. In
addition I would suggest to use KDE with KWin and not a WM that needs
proprietary graphics drivers. I'm only referring to the so called
"pro-audio" usage.
