V'ger<p>I have no idea how it happened, but since the last weekend, I'm running KDE on my desktops. When I was frustrated about KDE messing up my GNOME configs after I tried it out a few weeks ago, I couldn't figure out how to get GNOME to the look I've had before. That made me mad at GNOME and I figured, well, I'll just install KDE again and move on from there.</p><p>And what can I say ... it runs like a charm. It needed some tweaks (which were surprisingly easy to find) and now it behaves as I need it to. I've always liked KDE more than GNOME, from the project standpoint. But I never found it as easy to use. That has changed, apparently.
