Wayland (plus) has a decent shot of being a good future ... but its a
tad early still. Even tho its been cooking for a couple of years, its
only 1 course at the moment and the veggies aren't done yet either :-)
and dessert is a ways away ...

In the meantime, have you tried KDE - curious what your impressions
are of that ?

Its also possible gnome 3 will evolve to something more palatable for
you.

at all for folks who do most of their work talking
to remote X servers since remote GL stands no chance
of being anything other than a total slug.

Years ago, I knew I'd probably have to decide on either Gnome or KDE, so
I examined both of their websites. Gnome's was full of details about
what they were doing, what improvements they'd recently made and where
they were heading. KDE's was nothing but advocacy. I sent their
webmaster a polite email, pointing this out and asking for reasons,
other than advocacy, to try KDE. What I got in reply was more advocacy
without any attempt to tell me *why* KDE was so good or why I'd like it.
I went with Gnome and, until recently, never looked back. I've seen
KDE in action a few times on LiveCDs. I didn't like the default look
and feel and never felt comfortable enough with it to try to customize it.
