I always modify the default look and I use Main Menu instead of Menu
Bar. I use only one bottom panel. I got more space that way, and it is
important for me since I have 17'' monitor using 1024x768 resolution.

I use GNOME since I become a Linux user (4 years now). At least on
desktop computers.

I would say that the new Industrial icon set looks less KDE like than in
previous version (which is still available under GNOME name in "Theme
Details"). The thing I hate most in SUSE's GNOME is modified
Applications menu which uses KDE icon sets and looks like KDE. It's
really nice from SUSE developers to make all that effort, but there is
no need to to that. Since this new icon set looks less KDE like (IMHO),
now I like SUSE's GNOME better. I manage to set up "original GNOME"
Applications menu by replacing /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu which I
took from Fedora Core.

The funny thing is that on Novell Linux Desktop GNOME doesn't look like
KDE at all. They even replaced Yast icon sets with GNOME ones. It would
be very nice if we could see that on OSS. Or even better, to make gtk2
version of Yast in order to have completely KDE independent system like
FC or Ubuntu ;)
