I don't really think we should be talking about desktops.  Go to slashdot
to gossip about why one is better than the other.  Let's keep this
specific to games.  I also can tell you that GNOME uses up the same amount
of resources that KDE does if not more..  They both use alot, though there
is no way it can be using 32 megs.

Enlightenment runs uses 400K, not sure about windomaker but it's low.  I
agree that desktops are important to getting users to use games, HOWEVER..
I think it's more important to focus on games here.  What did they say in
Wayne's World?? "Build the stage and they will come."  Games... we need
games.  :-) 

to the person that had asteroids type questions.. I have a crumb load of
source for you if you want on a working asteroid game.
