You're starting to hit that point in the learning curve where the 
realization light comes on and you realize you need a GUI for very 
little.  A modern browser, perhaps.

Gnome/KDE/XWindows in general... bring very little value to the table 
for a properly trained person using a Unix machine.  They get more done 
from the command line.  :-)
