I don't think it neccessarily defeats the purpose, the default settings usually work just fine in my experience. But I've found that some other windows manager like fvwm2 offer much more flexibility in setting them up than anything kde or gnome's metacity offer. And best of all, once you have it tweaked perfectly, then all I you have to do is copy a text file around. For fvwm2, thats .fvwm2rc. Every system I use KDE on I have to spend quite a while customizing it to fit me. And even then I always miss certain shortcuts that I use a lot. Now if I had to start from scratch writing my .fvwm2rc, then I probably never would have, but luckily a good default one is provided. > > I love BSD under a wm, but I don't have the luxury of spending hours to > days makeing a "kick-ass" looking environment.
