gnome-do covers a multitude of sins.I've only used Gnome because is one of the default options and KDE has always seemed like a resource hog to me (actually, so has Gnome, just slightly less so). Lack of Gnome screensaver options have always irked me. Since discovering the devs devoted a section of the docs to explain why (rather than how to overcome this flaw), it has enraged me. Taking away the address bar in Nautilus isn't enraging alone, having to press ctrl+l every time or poking arroung the gnome configs to get it back _is_.xfce has been my preffered de since I tried xubuntu. But lubuntu introduced me to lxde recently. lxde has been buggy for me, standard indicator icons vanishing all the time. But I finnaly figured these out and I'm gonna stick with lxde for a while. But I still like gnome-do in any de.
