Battling with some of those folks suggests that
they remove any feature
which has the tinyest possibility of confusing the
least knowledgable.
Goodness knows why you can't have "advanced"
configuration dialogs to
change some of their braindead defaults (if there
is an option, it's
usually hidden in that gconf disaster, but usually
they hard code in the
crap).
I gave up several years ago with gnome (also see
the discussion between
gnome and linus), and have been pretty happy with
kde since. I still have
to face that shockingly bad gtk/gnome file dialog
box when using firefox
though :-(
I used KDE briefly on my SuSE Linux at home, but it kept the CPU so busy that everything ran slower than <you know what>. I'm not seeing that problem with gnome, here at work (CentOS 4.4+) or at home (still SuSE until I put in the new Mobo/Mem/Video). Has that changed, or is KDE still a CPU/GPU hog?
Thanks.

to be honest i have not seen that problem of high consumption of cpu with KDE
