[Gloucs] Change from KDE to Gnome.

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

I also am using Debian Lenny and have made the switch from KDE to Gnome 
for the same reason. However I found Gnome slower than KDE 3 to start 
up... At first.

Biggest improvement in speed was selecting a background other than the 
Debian one that needs to be scaled down etc.... Then have a look at what 
starts in the login session by using the session manager.

Its funny that still after all this time Gnome is still quite inferior 
to KDE 3.5 (lack of desktop apps, ease of configuration and options for 
configuration). However it now does what I need a desktop to do and it 
does look *so* much nicer. KDE 3 looks old fashioned unless you have 
something like RH's BlueCurve theme.
