What means behaving properly? Obeying your rules?
And i don't use DE, i'm using fvwm Window Manager.
The answer will probably be: use modern DE.
DE with the ridiculous big icons, designed for touch screen.
But i don't have one. I'm using workstation with keyboard and mouse.
Keyboard as primary!

Am i too outdated? Probably yes. When i started, the memory was
measured in KB, external storage in MB and power in KW.

As long i can install MTA and the applications will send notifications
via email, it is o.k. for me.
Otherwise i can use Windoze crap.
It seems this is the way where all this heads to.
