</div></div>Hi<br>
<br>
1) There's no point in replacing explorer by plasma since Plasma lacks<br>
implementation of such vital plasmoids as TaskList and SystemTray. Working<br>
with such shell would be real pain.<br>
2) Plasma is too unstable and behaves not as good as it should (you can alt-<br>
tab between Plasma-desktop and other apps if plasma is used instead of<br>
explorer shell)<br>
3) most important thing - PLASMA IS NOT A WINDOW MANAGER! Plasma is a desktop<br>
shell, that thing that shows you plasmoids, panels, icons, wallpapers etc. It<br>
doesn't deal with windows in any way. Window management is Window Managers'<br>
task. And since KWin is not going to be ported at all (or, at least, in any<br>
near future) you won't get all those fancy compositing effects on Windows.<br>
