Pretty soon I moved to gnome from the redmond/twm thing once gnome hit 2.0ish. Used SGI 4dwm a VFX job. Still using Mate. The CDE dock kinda demands a 4:3 monitor as well, is no one ever going to learn and put them on the side? Make sure the widgets can handle the orientation?

No it doesn't. From the 1024x768 up to the highest resolution of this days, it works well. Screen ratio matters even less.
