Since you are running Sid, install fvwm-themes. It isn't in Etch, but it
looks like you can install the package from unstable.

P.S. Learning Curve? What's that? I've tacked the switch from Windows
to GNU/Linux, and using the CLI for most of my management instead of
doing things through a GUI. I also am now running Sid because Etch was
too stable for me to learn anything from. (If it ain't broke, I can't
fix it)

You can have too much on your plate at once and never actually get to
eat everything before it gets too cold, whereas small portions ...

So I suggest installing fvwm, fvwm-icons, fvwm-themes.

create a .xinitrc file in your home directory.
man fvwm-themes for the syntax for the .xinitrc file.
disable kdm (you could purge it :-)
type startx and choose theme-management from the menu to choose a theme.

To get the Debian menu system:
theme-management-->current-->


Also check out the screenshots on the net and see how some people have
customised their desktops.


I was thinking about disabling kdm anyway... and I did look at some
screenshots. Pretty amazing stuff people have done.

I thought my KDE desktop looked pretty good until I saw some other
people's. One thing that seems to be quite common is a OS X type theme.
I don't quite understand why people would buy a PC and try to imitate a
mac. Oh well, to each his own.

Thanks,

Joe
