Re: [TCLUG:21873] New Thread: desktop vs. wm (WAS Re: [TCLUG:21837] Your guys'/gals' favorite GUI/WM)

I use fvwm2 at work, gnome at home.  When I setup a newbie Windows
convert I give the KDE.

Running any app on any window manager works fine, and there is so little
real difference between the different widget sets who can really care?

I run gnome apps, kde apps, raw X apps, CDE apps.  What difference does
it make?
