I left KDE after version 2 as it then seemed to
go in the wrong direction (more features / bloat?)
http://www.kde.org/screenshots/kde2shots.php
In fact, if 2.n would compile on 7.0 I'd have 
another look.

Since then I've been quite a fan of XFCE but found
myself slowly but surely converting to minimalism
i.e. the least needed to get done what I need done!

On my desktop FreeBSD this amount to about 6 jobs 
and for those twm fits the bill perfectly.
