Hi, I believe KDE has some killer desktop apps, and their suite of apps is complete and full-featured. Try out Kmail - it is amazing. IMHO the best graphical mail client on any platform. In general it is a more "complete" desktop i.e. if you install it, it installs everything you possibly could need (even on opensolaris). GNOME apps don't have all the features or even utility of the corresponding K* apps
I do have KDE running via the IPS packages at bionicmutton.org (see opensolaris.org. There are also instructions to build KDE for opensolaris. Search for KDE community/project on opensolaris. The KDE on opensolaris is quite complete - it has everything you need. If not, please join the effort to make KDE on opensolaris better.

It is held in memory of Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather prolific and popular (in his time) novelist. He is best known today for having written "The Last Days of Pompeii." Whenever Snoopy starts typing his novel from the top of his doghouse, beginning "It was a dark and stormy night..." he is borrowing from Lord Bulwer-Lytton. This was the line that opened his novel, "Paul Clifford," written in 1830. The full line reveals why it is so bad: It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents -- except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
