/me points out that this is a bit of a hot pot with his-self.

Since when did you guys start listening to the all knowing, all being,
all directing "Havoc Pennington"... you know they guy that espouses
"Sane Defaults" and "less is more" as far as GUI interfaces...

I moved away from GNOME (post 1.4.x) for anything personal that I can,
still avoiding KDE, as KDE v1.1.x was my favorite.

Please don't fall into that trap.
