The good news is, if you don't like Gnome, emerging Windowmaker is much faster

its a 2.0 release, and it has quite a couple of bugs. nevetheless i'm using it now 
There will be a 2.0.1 release about next month or so, which should fix the most critical bugs (file assosiations, etc) |

Not to start a flamewar, but I would suggest KDE3. It's most like Windows, and (at least for newbies like my brother) much easier to start with.

i imagined.
im kind of disappointed the limited configurability...
(ie: cannot avoid show win content while moving..., still cannot pass custom params to X in gdm.conf)
will wait. hope it doesnt mess up all the libraries and stuff.
