Well, it may be that I've been using gnome so long and don't spend the 
time to learn kde.  I don't like the 'forever' splash startup it has.  I 
know gnome has the same now, but I don't use the whole gnome, just the 
parts I want.  That may be what I like about it, then again, maybe you 
can do that with kde, I don't know.
