14 Well, I've perhaps changed my mind, after trying 4.3. I'm still using
15 fluxbox -- easily the best wm for me that I've tried -- but plasma
16 seems to be working well enough now that I can use it, although I
17 still would have preferred the combination of rox pinboard and
18 kicker.

20 Konsole for 4 seems to need a bit more work, so I'm continuing with
21 rox-term for now. (It's very similar to gnome-terminal.) I don't
22 really use file managers at all except for things like browsing images
23 and fonts; the terminal emulator is my most important tool. My main
24 reason for running KDE is it's an easy way to get the full
25 functionality of apps written for it. I'm too old-fashioned and messy
26 to care about some sort of "full user experience". :)
