Re: gnome needs a solid, configurable wm

[Jonathan <gardnerj pro-usa net>]

Personally I use sawmill, It never complains and is a bit faster than E. Then
again, I actually use xfce as my usual desktop environment. It's Gnome
compliant but is quite a bit faster. Actually the reason I switched from KDE
was that it seemed more difficult that Gnome to get it to do what I wanted.
