I know. I'm madly in love with her, and I'll be hard to give her up. I
thought that _maybe_ Gnome has something similar.

Both are installed. My four-year-old box cannot handle the heavy loads
of having libraries from both desktops open at the same time. So as
long as I don't open F-Spot I'm fine. But the minute I open it, so
many Gnome things get loaded that the box can't cope.

Truth is, if it weren't for F-Spot, I wouldn't even consider
switching. However, F-Spot is such a great app, that I won't give it
up, either.
