Like there is a way and a guide to create one's own distribution, similarily is there a way to create one's own Desktop Environment ?
What do you mean? Why are you not satisfied with existing ones?
If you mean a completely new one, and you're very good at programming...
Or if you mean put together components of existing DEs, I guess that's possible. But KDE is so tightly integrated* that I doubt you can use any of it's parts in your custom desktop alone.
*I HATE tight integration! Modularity is the best!

Thanks for bothering !
That's exactly what I meant.
I don't think that's possible completely as I tried many ways to set Dolphin the default file manager of Gnome but couldn't succeed.
I am currently using LXDE, I don't know whether it is tightly integrated as Gnome or KDE ?
I am not bothered about Marble's speed, its KDE's speed that's bugging me !
Relax, slow down. You young ones are far too obsessed with speed these days. Wait 'til you get to my age (and all that rubbish ). You can't pick and mix DE's like you would like to do. Just be satisfied with one or the other. It's not an ideal world, Anisha. You can't always get what you want.
