Gnome has it. I've removed KDE and installed GNOME and it looks a lot
better. Possible a bit less network traffic as well, which is good.

Next question. Bearing in mind I don't want my shop floor users to play
about with multitudes of settings and 'toys', what's the recommendation
for the window manager? I've also got xfce3 on the box but it's
currently set up to use fvwm. If I stick with the latter, where's the
panel configuration stored? I've had a dig in /etc/opt/gnome but
couldn't see anything obvious. I want to be able to give the users just
what they need and nowt else.

TIA,
