Right. > and it's not silly at all, IMHO. While opinions differ, Gnome didn't give me any chance (that I could easily find) not to use it at all. > Thanks for the recommandation.

You can use GTK applications, including GTK applications that are part of the standard GNOME distribution, with XFCE without any apparent problems. I mostly use gnome-terminal, very heavily. You can't use XFCE "instead of Nautilus" inside GNOME. XFCE is a desktop environment, so you use its window manager instead of GNOME's, its panel instead of GNOME's, and so on. It has its own file manager, looking slick and said to be rather useful if you know it well, though I don't have much use for a file manager. By default, it doesn't put icons on your desktop like GNOME does, which sits very well with me. -- avva "There's nothing simply good, nor ill alone" -- John Donne ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
