KDE uses a window manager called Kwin, and GNOME uses a window manager called metacity. metacity is a very simplistic window manager without a lot of bells & whistles. I don't use KDE so I'm unfamiliar with kwin. If you want more functionality out of your window manager, look at a program called devil's pie (http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie?flav=xhtml). It adds a bit more options to metacity. Or you could install sawfish, and use that as your GNOME window manager. Or openbox, that's another nice GTK+ 2.x window manager that integrates with GNOME. > --- Simon Perreault <nomis80@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I don't know about GNOME, so my comments are about > > KDE. > > > > nick kuzmik wrote: > > > 1.
