KDE to friends that know nothing about Linux, and they feel right home.  Lighter
weight window managers like Windowmaker (my default manager) are much less
intuitive. GNOME seems to be improving, but so far isn't in my top two choices.

Dale, I'm a little confused.  Aren't GNOME and KDE called desktops while
windowmaker, enlightenment, sawfish, kwm, and ICE called window managers?  And
don't these window managers run under (or on top of ) GNOME or KDE?

If this is correct, what desktop do you use with windowmaker?  Straighten me
out.
