I used to really love Gnome, I especially liked it with Enlightenment.
When the ability to use different backgrounds on the different desktops was removed I abandoned it and switched to KDE. The ability to configure it (fine-tune it) seemingly has gotten less and less so as each revision has come out. I personally find that the lack of the ability to tell what desktop you are on by the different backgrounds is un-excusable. CDE can even do it. I can only believe that this feature was removed to "dumb it down" for Windoze and ex-windoze users. I even asked about it in the newsgroups and was told to just use a differnt WM. So I did. Kwin.

I'm with Petreley, you Gnome guys can kiss grits.
