That sounds nice but is a Bad Idea in the real world where most people |
| 9 |
judge things by the default setup. Turns off the nice features and 90+% |
| 10 |
of people trying the software don't see them. |

It seems to me you dumped KDE because it had too many features and now are |
| 13 |
complaining that LXDE's terminal is short on features. Either run Konsole |
| 14 |
on LXDE or do wht you suggested the KDE devs do and run KDE with the eye |
| 15 |
candy turned off. The former is probably more sensible. |

Every now and then, I try a lighter desktop and always find myself |
| 18 |
missing some feature of KDE and has me running back to it. Yes, the |
| 19 |
default configuration is a bit cack, but once set up the way yu want, it |
| 20 |
stays that way. |

You could take a look at ROSA or Mageia, both of those distros have |
| 23 |
implemented KDE in a much nicer way, and you can always nick their |
| 24 |
themes and configs. |
