I don't know what you're getting at, but I hope you understand the meaning
of "potential". It's evident that e17 has got it right especially when its
fancy graphical effects works smoothly on an AMD K6. That's a start, because
in that way we know nothing is choking (especially in KWin where there are
random artifacts if compositing is disabled). What I'm saying is that it
_can_ be comparable to KDE's usability, sometime in the future when it's
stable.
For now I have to keep LXDE as a secondary environment.
Anyway what WM needs proprietary graphics drivers?
