======================
For my purposes, that is one of the strengths of distros like Mandrake where
the libraries for both KDE and Gnome are installed by default. Even if one
prefers Gnome, one can still use an app like kppp instead of the seemingly
more problematic gnome dialer. I use neither of the "big two" destop environments
prefering Blackbox. But I can use apps from both of the "major" desktop
environments because they are installed on my system. With HD's as roomy
as they are today, there's not need to save space by avoiding one or the
other, IMHO.
