   GTK3 is a little better.

   MATE isn't horrible, but it's still not my fave.
   LXDE is my fave - JUST ENOUGH GUI. It's small
   and it's sane and does what you need the way
   you'd expect. Somewhere between the Win-2k
   and XP experience.

   DID like Win-2K ... still have it in a VM and
   DO use it sometimes. Still ran 8/16 ... a big
   advantage for people who love 'antique'-ware.
   Nice simple GUI with few frills.
