Gnome hangs during compilation


Guys,

I am using RedHat 8.0 with GNOME desktop. When ever I compile some big applications, I observed that my Gnome becomes extremely sliow and eventually it hangs. I need to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get out of this. This problem doesn't happen in KDE. But I prefer to use Gnome because it looks much better than KDE.

1) How do I get out of this problem?

2) How do I make KDE looks more beatiful?

regards,
Sheldon

it sounds to me like a problem with gnome, you could try reporting it to the gnome people but they would more than likely say upgrade to the latest version first. you could also try asking red hat people but i have no idea how good there support is though especially if you havnt bought the product.

1) dont run gnome and compile at the same time.
2) i cant really help you here i think both gnome and kde are absolutly awful, give me icewm, windowmaker or blackbox any day of the week.

Thanks for your answer.
Till now I thought that KDE or Gnome is the best desktop available for Linux!

You have mentioned some names. icewm, windowmaker or blackbox. Are these just winodow managers or can I use it as a replacement for KDE or Gnome? Where I can these?

If these are better than KDE or Gnome why red hat peoples are are still sticking with these?

that depends on your opinion, i think there bulky, slow, and far too XP'ish

yes, these are just window managers but you can add other apps like idesk or dfm to get your perfect gui. you can find all these windows managers by google. rox is another big desktop environment like gnome/kde but i dont know much about it apart from it tries to look like RiscOS.

as i say it depends on your opinion, but i would guess the main reason red hat and others push these as their main gui are because they want to attract people coming from windows who want to see something like they had before. and most distros package other window managers along with gnome/kde.
