I'm not.  IMO both Gnome and KDE are a complete and utter waste of
time and disk space.

I think you'd have to be nuts to want to try it.  I mean, you're gonna
have...

  X + Gnome + SXEmacs + XWEM

...and Gnome will probably use more resources than the other 3
combined.  And for what benefit?  IMO, nothing.

For the record, I think that being able to run Gnome "applets" (or
whatever they are called) in the xwem-tray would be way cool!  But to
run XWEM on top of Gnome would be way stupid.[1]


Footnotes: 
[1]  Understand that I think running Gnome with _any_ WM is way
     stupid.  Same for KDE.
