I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Gnome3 with enlightenment (e16)
Time to show off the desktop again:
Here is Gnome3 with Enlightenment window manager:

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Time to make you all jealous again:
Arch Gnome3 with the Mallys theme and a Debian server running in VM + conky.
The background varies because I use the Gnome3 wallpaper changer

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Here is my gnome 3.2 with the ChocoLatte theme. This theme is really well designed and consistent. My animated background takes a bit away from that consistency. But it still is a nice theme.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Did I do this already? 
Nothing changes fast, here.
I'm using KDE-4.6.5, hanging onto the 'Desktop' activity paradigm for Plasma, icons for favorite apps, lots of virtual desktops, keeping room for maximized windows for the various open programs on different desktops. The countdown timer is handy for cooking, YAWP, bandwidth meter, simple CPU Temp widget. I try for fairly uncluttered, yet functional, don't spend a lot of time on customizing, Mandriva 2011.0 x86_64.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Yup KDE is the king of flexibility. And I like that! So the desktop can look as you like or be as functional as you like. Gnome has a lot to learn there, and has been heavily criticized for it - especially from Linus Torvalds.
Is that a fresh Mandriva 2011 install?

No, I'm still running what I got by doing this over here.
Running with all the warts, like network manager not showing the working ethernet connection to internet, like Pulseaudio, apparently, pegging the mixer volume whenever the sound notification events come too rapidly one after the other, hmmm, maybe I'm missing some warts and workarounds but it's not so bad.
