you should try terminator, or guake if you want an "alternate" terminal. i am using both in combination (guake in luman-overlay, has applied some additional patches)
lxde/openbox is very nice. slim and slimlock are working fine in combination with it. so there is no need for heavy gnome/kde desktops. if you want your old gnome 2.x dektop back, you should try mate, which is a fork of the last gnome 2.x stable branch. (there is mate-overlay) ;) (happy to see some other german gentoo users! :))) On 10/15/2012 04:41 PM, Randolph Maaßen wrote: > On Oct 15, 2012 2:59 PM, "Neil Bothwick" <n...@digimed.co.uk > <mailto:n...@digimed.co.uk>> wrote: >> >> On Mon, 15 Oct 2012 05:23:44 -0700, walt wrote: >> >> > In fact, I blame all the new problems with both gnome3 and kde4 >> > on video compositing.
