I've never noticed a problem with Gimp but then I don't try to run it with KDE. In LXDE the clock updates so infrequently it's not worth using it, sometimes it's 20 minutes or more behind what you get if you just type date into a terminal emulator. Because I use startx I guess instead of lightdm I can ctrl-alt-f2 and I'm at a different virtual console, but I've never found Wayland useful for anything.
I think the LXDE clock just runs at too low a priority so it doesn't get updated often enough. xclock works. I use only Alsa sound and sometimes that's busy. But doing a pkill of Firefox (I never use Chromium) will free up the sound, then letting Firefox restore the session works. If I close it with the normal menu I lose all my tabs.
Sometimes I miss FVWM for its simplicity but I don't think I've gotten it to work under Linux at all. It's the default in OpenBSD last I knew.
