nuqneH,

Still being completely offtopic i must say i REALLY HATE when someone
refers to "*both* gnome and KDE". Just because they started saying that
before people on commercial unices ever noticed the existance of those
things and while CDE and Openlook had much more working applications.

(i am happy Openlook user, it is last *really* non-motif-style GUI.
i am sure that the *main* "advantage" of motif-style things is that
those do look familliar to weendoze users.)
