Sorry, I consider all varieties of the GNOME desktop
to be an insult. Their
design philosophy appears to be: "Now that we've removed THAT functionality,
what else can we remove?" Eventually, the GNOME desktop will consist of one
button in the middle of the screen that reads: "Shutdown." ;-)
I don't use it, but it seems the current efforts in gnome are geared towards the
handheld rather than desktop. which would make sense to me ... xfce or one of
the other choices for a lightweight desktop, kde if you like that sort of thing
and gnome for tiny displays and handhelds.
