    Ok, my #KDE install on !FreeBSD doesn't accept my super-key for shortcuts. I think it's time to go back to !wmii. Sorry KDE, I really tried.

      @gustopn thanx for the tip. I thought it was KDE because it works to use it as the wmii mod key. I'll give it a try then :)

    I tried #KDE on my !FreeBSD box. Haven't used it in ages. But coming from !wmii it feels sluggish and slow (on a i7 with 8 Gigs of RAM)

        @nybill I hated #G3 at first, then after using it for several hours, I can’t use anything else. Only a few annoyances.

      People bashing !Ubuntu for unity: What should have they done? Stuck with a deprecated DE? Or moved to !Gnome 3, which is equally criticized?

        @skreech2 I agree. KDE has come such a long way since its 3x days, it'll be quite a task catching up. Honestly, I don't see the point.

      Once you try a tiling window manager, you always come back. Back on !xmonad after a short stint checking out kde 4.6.

        @qchapter Agreed. I tried !stumpwm, ended up back in Gnome2, tried Gnome3, but then ran back to tiling w/ !wmii. (only wm I have installed)

      I set !wmii's font to xft:Monospace-8 (an alias for DejaVu Sans Mono), and it works, but the character spacing is wrong.
