Anyhow, you know how you can use CTRL+SHIFT+U followed by the appropriate hex digits and then ENTER to type special characters in Gnome? You can’t in KDE. I’m sticking with Gnome from here on.

I'm not worried now because I couldn't be more happy with Ubuntu and GNOME.

I've got two HP printers that worked fine in KDE3, but won't duplex on KDE4. My god ... how hard is to command a printer to duplex? Wouldn't they have worked it out by NOW?

I have come to appreciate Gnome and the plugins available for Firefox (like Vimperator). I am glad I switched. I can now concentrate on getting work done instead of messing with system inadequacies.

You've saved me some time. I'm 95% happy with Ubuntu. Screen saver is still prone to failure, Evolution has a few major annoyances, and Open Office Base is a joke (not Ubuntu's fault), but apart from these, it's perfect. I'd much rather tolerate these known issues than go back to Windows which is a cesspool of diseased software that pimps its users to criminals across the globe.
