Venting.  Something I proudly do well :-).

I use kmail in an icewm environment.  It drags in KDE crap.  After a couple 
of days I have to log out and log back in to clear the KDE memory leaks (or 
whatever it's doing to slow me down to a crawl.  If I accidentally use 
Konqueror I'll be gummed up in about 2 hours. (Same thing happens under KDE 
so it's _not_ icewm.) I am underwhelmed with communities of programs (KDE, 
Gnome, etc.).  They do a 90% job on a lot of stuff instead of a 99% job on a 
few things. That last 9% is expensive to provide but I seem to find it 
missing.  I'm going to try Mutt next.  I don't need a new skin and more 
buttons on a email client every 18 months.

Make clockwise circles with your right foot. 
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
