    Note: comparing the startup speed of software with completely different sets of functionality makes no sense.

    It does when the extra "functionality" of one (Gnome) is of no value whatsoever; WindowMaker is a far better working environment than Gnome/KDE/Windows will ever be.

    Yeah! Goddamn those people who compile from source themselves. Those idiots don't appreciate the power of open source. They should just apt-get the binaries!

    Sigh.

    You're a real fucking retard. Or a Debian and/or Mandrake user. Same thing, really.
