    thanks
    I'm using Xfce, very lightweight, but very versatile also. Like someone said above, just install the kde & gnome libs, and you should be fine. I use Xfce but run K3b, OpenOffice, Amarok, Grip, Gimp, etc. on it.

    It does . I only have to admit I don't remember how to do it anymore... But I pulled it off, with only rox-filer, so it can't be that difficult!

    Google is my friend. From the Rox FAQ:
    Right click on the desktop background. Choose Backdrop... from the bottom of the menu. Drag an image in.

    If no background image is set, the colour set in the Options box is used (choose ROX-Filer/Options... from the menu).

    You can use Wallpaper to select a random backdrop image at regular intervals, and for other interesting effects.

    This is likely coincidence. I have noticed no slowdown whatsoever from my adding of WMs. Especially since none are even executed unless you tell it to.

    Did you change from KDE to GNOME? Because if so, it may be that GNOME ran faster for you, but that this was not at all related to the removal of KDE.

    mmm yes ... running linux on a p.o.s. computer does cause some problems (as does running windows) as the puter gets older and slower and software moves ahead ... certain things you wouldn't normally notice seem to be accentuated... like rewatching a hit in an action movie in slow motion... will be sure to keep it in mind for my slower machines.
