I'd rather once spend one week configuring my desktop, rather then have it constantly eating five minutes out of every my working hour. Former is the case for KDE. Later is the case for GNOME.

PS At last, I hope by now GNOME got shortcut to minimize window and window minimizition animation finally got fixed.

What is it in Gnome that eats away 5 minutes every hour ? I am curious, as I use both KDE and Gnome and don't find them that different.

It's amazing, the silence you get when you ask for specifics, isn't it?

There has always been a minimize shortcut.
Or maybe i spend 20 minutes to set it up.

Yes, that works if you have the same system every time. If I have to spend a week to customize to my liking every client desktop I happen to work with, I will be out of a job :)

Keep your config somewhere network-accessible and suck it down when neeeded. :)
