21 Hi,
22 I have always loved gnome more than kde or anything else. About 2 years ago
23 I had to use Windows till about 3 months ago, and I came back to gentoo and
24 used gnome again. But I didn't feel that comfortable and home, so I tried
25 kde and some other desktop environments, but these felt even worse. I found
26 cinnamon and used it with gdm, what made me happy for a while. But I
27 couldn't find an easy way to configure this system to my needs. I found no
28 way to change the gdm background for example. I googled for a couple of
29 days. So I tried to get rid of gnome, but I have some programmms, that use
30 it. I use Openbox and slim now, I could configure it within half a day, and
31 I'm happy now.
32
33 By the way, I got used to tabbing terminal.in gnome-terminal, does someone
34 know a tabbing terminal without gnome or kde or something this big?

36 Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
