Desktop manager?Desktop manager?Posted Jul 8, 2008 21:34 UTC (Tue) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Move Your Business from Windows to Linux (PC World) by horen Parent article: Move Your Business from Windows to Linux (PC World) KDE and Xfce call themselves desktop environments, whereas GNOME calls itself a desktop. Neither calls itself a desktop manager. I presume, a desktop manager would manage several desktops, like a window manager manages several windows.

Desktop manager? Posted Jul 9, 2008 23:31 UTC (Wed) by aleXXX (subscriber, #2742) [Link] Well, KDE is the "K Desktop Environment", so it is a n environment. The "desktop" in KDE is kdesktop, i.e. the thingy which cares for the background of the screen with the icons and stuff. But I'm not sure nitpicking desktop vs. desktop manager vs. desktop environment makes sense here. Alex
