kdedevelopers.org — KWin window manager in KDE 4 is going to have compositing support built-in. Think about XGL, Compiz and all the effects that come with them. If you know graphics programming, OpenGL, XRender and would like to help (and become famous) don't be afraid to contact KDE. They are looking exactly for people like you.

Most any desktop environment can change in appearance, including Windows. Saying that you think that Vista is ugly is contradicting yourself.

You do know Xgl and Compiz are at an Alpha level of development right now?

I disagree, Trillian looks like a PoS compared to Gaim, I like applications that actually use the theme your using and don't insist on using their own that looks nothing like the rest of your desktop.

This is crap. Try the following:resize a KDE app in KDE, resize a gnome app in gnome.switch virtual desktops in KDE and gnomestart Konsole, start gnome-terminalstart konqi, start nautilusKDE is much faster than GNOME, the only place it is slower is startup time for the desktop environment itself. People who say otherwise are not being honest or see performance differently to me.KMenu opens slower though than gnome menu though. So things like this probably influence people as they are common actions.

I resent this statement. The Hauppage tuners are f**king FANTASTIC in any Linux distro. It took me all of 5 seconds to download TVtime since the rest was already in the KERNEL.

Hi elfarto. .Kde is build on top of QT and not on top of X or anything else, Qt is rock solid and Kde too.and the latest Qt-4 add suport for other render engines not only X-11 on linux side

sure, 2.16 will have compositing support, just like kde 3.3 had (2 years ago). and 2.20 might have XGL/AIXGL support, just like KDE 4 will have in 6 months. so? we know gnome was behind...
