    "The background transparency setting will not be used because your desktop does not appear to support transparent windows." - Thanks a lot, KDE, what happened to those days you would still have a "use anyway" button in such situations? You're becoming less and less useful to people who actually know what they're doing up to some point...

        @cavatina Linus does great kernel work, but when it doesn't come to the kernel I don't take his position that highly, being honest.

      @omni I'm happy with Fluxbox, personally. I don't really see the point of a DE honestly.

        @toksyuryel I tried fluxbox, was disappointed that the only browser i had installed, and was familiar with that worked under it was Opera

          @cavatina Every X application will work in any X window manager.

              @cavatina Simple: because it didn't put them in the menu. You can either add them to the menu yourself or see if your distro has a package you can install which will add them for you (on Gentoo this was the gnome-menus package). Or you can just launch them from a terminal window.

                  @cavatina Because those do it automatically. If that's the most important feature to you by all means use whatever you want. I was only talking about what I like to use.

                  @cavatina They're completely different systems and all work differently :P

        @toksyuryel I'm happy with awesome and I haven't ran the full KDE suite in a long time, but all KDE applications seem to behave more and more like this, besides being terribly unstable (Dolphin crashes if I open my home directory)
