Hello,
  Kwort doesn't support desktop environments officially.
  Some have build Gnome if my memory doesn't fail, and I guess you can build a DE with the ports.
  Desktop environments add unneeded complexity, a huge mess under the hood and a big memory and CPU usage footprint, that we've always tried to avoid.
  Kwort 3.2 final is just about being released, is just a matter of minutes.

Regards.

mc, nautilus? hell! If you want a really good file manager for X, try
gentoo: http://obsession.se/gentoo/
I'm serious on that. It's an extremely lightweight but powerful file manager.

Kind regards,
Andreas Schipplock.
