Sometimes I'm asking myself this question, too. But on the other hand: Gnome runs really stable, once u managed to compile it. And most people would use the version of the distribution anyway, so they don't notice it. Besides I really love the GTK+ interface. To me KDE looks somehow clumsy, awkward. Also I don't like this strange merlin wizard, which reminds me rather of fairy tales then of a production environment Wink

. Another minus is that KDE menus are cluttered with stuff. Gnome is more reasonable with the features. Hey but these aren't really important arguments. They both work, and without doubt KDE is organized and distributed far more professional, so I can understand people don't want to try out anything else once they notice, that there aren't any precompiled binaries available for Gnome. I've recently been to linuxiso.org and much to my surprise only RedHat and Debian offer Gnome as default. All others use KDE. This is a clear signal of preferences. But I will stick to my environment after all, because I love to use it Razz

Btw, here's one of my desktops. I always use two of them: First for working and that one for keeping necessary windows of apps open. Sometimes I could need two more of them (one just for Gimp one for jEdit) but then my taskbar would get too crowded Wink

.
bye
Ken
