[olug] Mozilla and Java AND Ximian

[Quinn Coldiron]

Not to start a desktop war, but actually, my favorite is Windowmaker,
then XFCE is a close second.  Something about Windowmaker just keeps me
coming back.  It's clean, fast and elegant.  I installed Ximian to get
the sweet icons and pixmaps.  A bit of a pig just for icons I guess :-) 

Now that I have the /usr/share/pixmaps directory and subs burned to a
CDROM I don't need it anymore...
