| as to maximise the use of screen real estate. All features of the
| window manager are accessible purely from the keyboard: a mouse
| is entirely optional.

| and context-based. Some users make their decision on the basis of 
| aesthetics, arguing that one desktop is more corporate-looking or

| that is important to their work or habits, such as KDE's multiple
| clipboard or Evolution's business-like structure.
