Downside here is that this was the only desktop environment from which I was unable to reboot my machine using a GUI. Second round of slow clapping for being the only desktop to create popups (seen at bottom) with no timeout.
KDE is way too slow for my tastes and the keverything drives me nuts. Yes, I know, Gnome does this to an extend too but not for everything. This is the same reason I despise Apple's naming scheme. iPhone, iPod, iPad, iPhail, iTunes, iCloud and iEverything.
I've tried LXDE, xfe and TWM but couldn't quite give up Gnome. Keep forgetting about E17. Need to put that on my to do list.
[edit] I take way too long to form replies when at work. There was only one reply when I started this reply. *sigh* Now 1/2 my post is redundant.Last edited by Credomane; 10 October 2012, 11:18 AM.

I'm running on a 4GB RAM system with Arch Linux and KDE (the minimal install) and it eats around 600mb on start.
He has 16GB.
And I bet you have less than 4.

Hold alt to turn the suspend menu into the menu option that allows for shutdown/restart/log off. I think I read that for 3.6 they were adding the power off menu back because they received to much negative hate over this, of which I was one. The no timeout on the status bar thing at the bottom of the screen is a real annoyance. Especially when you insert a flash drive and the open/eject dialog appears. The entire bottom fourth of the screen is on lock down until you pick one of the options. No dismiss button to be found. Ticks me off to no end when I'm required to pick one of those options when I don't want either. That fail whale dialog need abolished, too. It is practically a BSOD from windows.
