yes it is. Mine is KDE. It eats hardware but I do not care. It's configurable and convenient, and I like the development process. Many bugs and feature requests I've posted have been fixed or included in a very short time. It's stable and consistent, and there are a lot of "third party" applications which integrate perfectly. No flamewar, but most of the above reasons are not valid for Gnome. I dislike applications with multi panel windows, and the file open and save dialog, a basic GUI element, simply is a pain compared to KDE. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
