    Same here. I first became comfortable back in the day using Linux via Gnome.
    But after they dumped sawfish for metacity and Nautilus I was very turned
    off. Not the sawfish was better or worse - just more accessible. Since
    Metacity the config gui is insulting. I comes kludged in many areas IMHO,
    even in RH distros and since Metacity it takes a lot more effort than it
    should to correct. If your an admin setting up a desktop for the office and
    are familiar and competent configuring Gnome/metacity then it's a perfect fit
    in many respects - the office users have a harder time getting in and
    screwing things up. But it's not user friendly at all IMHO and for home/SOHO
    use it hinders rather than promotes LOTD in the public sector.

    Cheers, Curtis.
