Yesterday I switched to GNOME 2 for my main desktop. After needing to hack a few things, and compile gdm from CVS, it's going well. Kudos to hp for the metacity window manager, which I'm enjoying using (after I patched out the Alt-1, Alt-2 etc. keybindings).
Under lots of pressure in putting the final touches to the proceedings for XML Europe. Errors always wait until the final moment before rearing their heads, it seems.
