KDE vs. GNOME: Is One Better?

> Fluxbox users unite!!!!!

What's this about Fluxbox users igniting??? Sounds dangerous to me.

AfterStep, Baby!

You know, I actually used TWM with CentOS for a while at work...the machine I was using was too old to run well with anything else. It's a bit more addictive than you would think. It's nice when nothing really gets in the way of doing business.

That's the way you do it - money for nuthin' on your Flux DE.

( with apologies to Dire Straits )

Quoting:GNOME

Begin the flame wars!!

Yup! But I must say that KDE4 has me pretty excited so far. The dratted thing is that I invested so much in GNOME already. I'm not going to like porting my stuff to KDE :-/

Quoting:and it supposed to mean they're l33t.

Pretentious, more like.

> I'm not going to like porting my stuff to KDE :-/

Porting? You mean stuff actually written in gtk? Or just apt settings? If it's just the settings, you have no problem using any gtk apps in KDE. So, keep your home directory.

I mean stuff actually written to the Gnome/GTK platform. I.e. http://www.gnome-hearts.org

Will it run independant ot the desktop? I'd think that would be important anyway. Heck, my Mother would like that one :D

I. Use. Emacs. On. Gnome. Does that make me l33t? ;-)

I use KDE, though my Ubuntu tryout box has GNOME.

Definitely prefer KDE. Easier to spell, no harder to pronounce.

Wow Dino, I gotta remember that one :D

Quoting:Will it run independant ot the desktop?

I am not sure. I haven't written it to be desktop independent. But I don't use many GNOME specific things besides glib and glade (e.g. no gconf and all that). Tere are the GNOME specific dependencies: libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0 glib-2.0 gmodule-2.0. That last one should be part of glib on most systems.

> well, it runs on KDE... the shortcut link doesn't work, but with /usr/games/gnome-hearts called, it works fine. Now if I just understood the game :D

> Easier to spell, no harder to pronounce.

Ah, simple pleasures for simple minds. :-D

/ducking and running...

>ducking and running...

Aw rev, no need to hide out for speakin' the plain truth. Leastways, not til I manage to make my way down to the Carolinas!

What's up Dino, you in the mood for some barbecue? Maybe another picture of the pig?

>"What's up Dino, you in the mood for some barbecue? Maybe another picture of the pig?"<

You'll have to find another pig. Don and I finished that one off.

Actually, it's getting to be pig-pickin' season again. hmmm...

> Now if I just understood the game :D

There should be a help file in DocBook with the game explaining the rules. It's usually installed in scrollkeeper (GNOME's help) but you should find it at /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-hearts/C/gnome-hearts.xml or alternatively on my website at http://www.jejik.com/hearts/users/

Or simply read any howto for MS-Hearts. Mine works the same way.
