This is really a bad news. The Gnome and KDE is not the Linux world.
Low-fat WM still has it appeal to the users, who manage to run old H/W and
who like to have fast S/W on old/new H/W. Icewm + idesk is a long time
win-win combination. Even the live cds also use icewm for the speed.
It should be kept alive. I can pray only....
