I don't reinstall my Debian unless I get a new machine with a new arch. Since I just made the switch to x86-64, I think it will be a while before I reinstall again.
Kwin is the KDE window manager. The file manager,(Konqueror (3) or Dolphin (4)) does not draw the desktop or the panel/taskbar in KDE 3 or 4.
In 3, kdesktop drew the desktop and Kicker was the panel. In KDE 4, Plasma handles the "desktop" and panel, in a generic, abstracted way.
In Gnome, the shell/file manager, Nautilus, draws the desktop (like Explorer in Windows) but not the panel/taskbar (Explorer also draws the taskbar). This will change for Gnome 3.0. Gnome uses and will continue to use the Metacity window manager.
In any case "shell" is rather a vague term in Gnome or KDE, unless you are talking about the command line.
Perl goes back to the 80s, I think. Python... early 90s maybe? PHP is probably about the same age as JS. Lua seems very new but I feel like I heard it is much older than you would think.
I don't have multiple monitors, but I want two or even three. I use Awesome, with 5 tags (like virtual desktops, but a window can be on more than one tag without being on all tags) given a special purpose, and 4 other tags.
Having two or more monitors would let me see several tags simultaneously. For me that would be useful because if I don't see something, I am much more likely to forget it. I could have my main task(s) on one monitor, and the other could have my todo, a calendar, and my mail, for example.
Other use cases are people that do image or video editing, or drafting. If you have seen people do those tasks, the usefulness of two or more screens should be clear.

I read the body of your post before the title, and I thought it was a Full Metal Alchemist theme.

Not since last Tuesday.
That's why you should use Debian
or just use Amarok 2.0.1.1

fish is ssh, but konq, via kio-slaves, supports tons of others:
http, ftp, svn, smtp, pop3, imap, tar, smb, audiocd, ipod, psp, etc.

I agree, although the Registry is worse than Gconf.
In Windows, if you want to swap caps and ctrl, you do this:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
add a binary entry called Scancode Map with a value of 00000000 00000000 03000000 3A001D00 1D003A00 00000000.
WHY?!
If you where a Mac user, just say "Mac OS 10.0" over and over until something clicks.
KDE 5 is many years off and will likely be a big change, either like 2->3 or maybe even like 3->4/1->2

I have never had RB or Totem work right, and without crashing. The most disappointing part of a Gnome desktop, to me.
Xmonad (side effects are bad), ratpoison (screen for X), stumpwm (lisp), awesome (maximalist), twm (minimalist), wmii (Plan 9)
>(It has some nice features that neither of the big two provides, like minimise-to-desktop.)
Ewww. To each their own, I guess.
Thank for posting that. I had heard of GnomeShell for 3.0, but I missed that it is taking over as window manager as well.

>Did they make the same mistake with 3.0, I wonder?
I don't know, but when I think of KDE 4.0, I always think of Mac OS 10.0

Nice to see that my xmas present might suddenly die...
And it looks like Seagate is not being very helpful towards Linux users...
Mmmm, delicious cancer!
>roast them slowly instead
no, no! Catch it on fire, and then turn it so it gets burned evenly. When it is all black and charcoal-ly, blow out the flames and eat it!
also important, does he know Latin and Yoko Kanno's made up language(s)?
