I was an Enlightenment user for years, before I finally gave KDE
3.something a try. I ran it under the Gnome environment, but only one of
my 3x3 vortual desktops actually showed the Gnome desktop. Which I
liked, I did my multimedia stuff there, using Nautilus. Gnome also took
care of restoring my saved session. More or less, I already had trouble
with thisi in those days, sometimes all my terminals (15-20) opened all
on the first desktop. And I always had to shift my Galeon windows to
their dedicated positions after login.
I installed e17 two weeks ago, and played a little with it when I was
unable to log into KDE. But I did not too much configuring (yet). What I
missed was the ability to maximize windows vertically and horizontally
by pressing the maximize button with the middle or right mouse button,
one of th efirst features I liked about e16.
I had one problem with a Firefox window, that I was not able to access
any more. It kept appearing briefly when I switched to its desktop, and
scrolled away instantly.
When I had sorted out my KDE problem (this took hours, and I dit nore
really solve this, it just worked again after removing some plasmoids),
I did not try again. Not sure if I would like to use it as a KDE
replacement, but maybe with someconfiguring it would make a great window
manager.

Same here.
