I had never seen. Virtual desktops, layers of backgrounds, very creative.
As time went on, the graphics (not the most stable) didn't mean as much as
functionality and configurability. I had also been using AfterStep
(under another login) which had a floating menu and retractable
icon blocks, completely configurable.
The best feature is the wharf file in which you can configure all the
icon blocks, where they are located and associated programs.

Your choice of Kwin (KDE) is awesome, well thought out and very intuitive.
When used as part of KDE, it can't be beat, but not exactly my taste.
I enjoy loading a Window Manager that takes some time to figure out
(there are plenty of them out there).

That's a good answer, you seem to love a good challenge. Configurability is a good thing to have but a system that's too flexible isn't good for me, you have no idea how long I've spent 'playing' with the control center and other settings just to make MEPIS look like how I want it to look like, but I ended up with what I started with plus a few (many) minor (not major) changes, it was fun though. Can't do this lot using JWM in Puppy Linux.

Still wondering when should I try GNOME or whether I feel like trying it. Fedora 11 just delayed their release yet again. Initially, it was set to be released on 26th May, they delayed it till 2nd June and now again till 9th June. Too many bugs I guess.
