Changed over for good.
XFcEv4.4 is by far much more usable than GNOME is for me. It still can use GNOME stuffs, KDE stuffs and pretty much anything you want.
I like it *MUCH* more than GNOME. The user has much more control over the environment, margins, smart window placement transparency features that just plain work, to name just a few.
I am hooked. Many others are switching.
