Hi everybody!
We are animals of certain habits and we like it that way.
For few years I was using GUI on Slackware the "scotich" way, namely
xfce as window manager from the times of boxen poor on resources by
todays standards.
Few days ago a MS-Word (doc)ument arrived on my box and I decided to
view it in Linux.
But my xfce4 was not "menued" to call Abiword so I invoked
"gnome-session" and it did the works.
As this box is "rich" on resources and I liked it I switched to to gnome.

[UFO part]
Like every other day I started browsing the web with the resident Mozilla.
It struck me as VERY strange but responses of sites and cleaning of
news-groups from expired articles seemed to pick up considerable.
[/UFO part]

What is going on?
The same hardware, the same dial-up connection, the same ISP.

Has boolean logic gone crazy?

(HELP....)

Waiting!

I've boiled it down to this and still don't understand the question.

While XFce requires gnome libraries, it's not gnome. My guess is that
these GTK apps run better/faster in the actual Gnome environment, similar
to how runnig any KDE app outside of KDE seems to involve the loading of
the entire KDE desktop with the exception of kicker. A similar phenomenon
is true in windows with the preloading of IE and Office. Mozilla now does
the same (or offers it as an option at install) to make the browser load
faster in windows. I must admit I don't mind that option on my win2000
box at work - tho with 512 MB of ram on a P4, I don't miss the resources.

Then again it could be aliens....

If I shove it far enough up my nostrils it might....

This reminds me of the I was vacationing in the Bahamas with some freinds
of mine. I had spent the whole day body surfing at the beach. We went to
dinner that night and, while laughing, a significant stream of sea water
poured out of my sinuses, out my nose, and onto my plate. It proved quite
disturbing to some people sitting next to us, but I felt the fish was in
need of some salt anyway.

nope. mozilla is not a gnome app, and xfce uses gtk as well.

no reason it would run faster under gnome than under xfce. no reason it
would run slower either, if the resources are ample.

I think this could be easily cleared up.... was there any sign of visitation
such as anal probing evidence, implantation of devices, etc.
