Yes, really. People boot a distro's live CD, maybe install it, and make |
| 15 |
quick decisions about whether they like it or not. |

I honestly don't have that problem. Possibly because I have configured so |
| 26 |
much of it that the system defaults never get a look in, changed or not. |

Like I said, but you seemed to ignore, run Konsole on LXDE to get all you |
| 42 |

irrespective of whether you use KDE or not, although Terminology does |
| 44 |
look interesting. |
