GEX 0.6.1 review
DownloadGEX is just another desktop environment

GEX is just another desktop environment. Definitely nothing special. But it has one feature that no other desktop environment could provide: GEX is mine and get's all the features that I need and nothing else.
Another reason for this little desktop environment is my endeavor to create an Mbus profile for desktop environments and applications. It should provide at least the following features:
a dynamic configuration mechanism for applications
a remote control mechanism
a event mechanism for service daemons
Configuration:
The configuration of GEX's first generation is completly stored in one single INI like file. This file may be located at several different places in your home directory:
~/.gex
~/gexrc
~/etc/.gex
~/etc/gexrc
~/usr/etc/.gex
~/usr/etc/gexrc
Each of the core components of the GEX desktop environment has its own configuration group in this file. The available keys, their possible values and a description can be found in the follow sections.
What's New in This Release:
Code cleanups.
A bug with autohide panels has been fixed.
The panel plugin gxwinsel (windows selector) has been added.
A bug in the panel plugin gxmail that occurred when using IMAP over SSL has been fixed.
This release adds a wallpaper and updates the default configuration.
