So you guys helped me pick a distro, and i'm pretty happy with it. Lets here the verdicts, what window manager? Gnome 2.12 is what i've been using, but it isn't the most stable. Sometimes i can't logout and i have to switch to a vt and kill it. The absence of easily configurable menus has me sticking all my music apps in a "drawer," where those without icons apear as big feet that must be mouse-overed until i get tool-tipped to even know that program it is. I could work around/live with it but then i resized one day with <ctrl>+<alt>+- to read some fine print and all o' the sudden the horizontal refresh was busted like an old television. the whole screen was cycling to the left at a dizying pace and my muse cursor disapeared. Even after killing X and restarting this nonsence was still going on and i hate having to reboot my machine. So now i'm playing with e16... before i invest in realy figuring out how to use it, what do any of you using a jack studio setup with like MusE and Ardor and the like prefer?
