RH 8.0 and real Gnome and KDE
I don't like that Gnome and KDE are the same, it's boring and slower. Does anybody know of a way to go back to real Gnome and KDE and not Bluecurve? I like the foot on the panel, not some redhat.

I like RH ok, but their graphics and stuff don't please me. I use it at work so much I thought I should use it at home. Now I think I might go back to Mandrake or Suse if I can't get rid of this 'redhat we make it all the same' crap.
to make kde look like it is supposed to. open control center. go to look and feel. then to theme manager...select default. should be able to do something the same way in gnome. cya
I found with my installation of RH8, that I received errors when starting Gnome "Settings Daemon Not Found". I tracked this down to a missing package, "control-center". When I installed that RPM, the errors ceased and I was happy to find the "themes" settings in Preffs...

I got KDE to show the KDE logo on the corner instead of the RedHat, but outsideof that it's still RedHatized. Not the normal KDE. I have tried the Gnome thing too, with no dice. I realize bluecurve is a theme. I guess I am more interested in having Gnome and KDE how they are in other distributions, different.
I don't like what RH did to make them similar, so I will just switch back to mandrake or suse when I get a chance.
