Note to original poster of the question (and obviously the guy doing research on desktop environ habits. Hmmm! Researcher, Reporter, Shill, or Troll?). Remember when I mentioned that even back in the day when SuSE official support for GNOME was far less than that of KDE, but that there were many competent and skilled developers/coders that offered GNOME packages (third party) that provided viable GNOME packages - He's just introduced himself. And if not for James and a few other cohorts I'd have been folding in GNOME packages from tarballs instead of rpms way back then. I think you've gotten your answer here. SuSE has always advocated using whatever the user prefers, be it KDE or GNOME. With guys like James provide solid packages for people like myself I've always flipped in and out of the respective desktops. And more importantly had access to various GNOME apps at my leasure. I don't think you get the F/OSS thing. It's about choice, participation, ease of use and "innovation". James and the GNOME faithful are old partners here on the SuSE list. It's not a competition here. It's a coop. Use what works for you. I fail to see the point of trying to differentiate who's faithful to Gnome "vs" KDE. People are more faithful to Linux and F/OSS, of which GNOME and KDE are part of the equation. Any perception for or of dominance is to miss the point in the first place! Have a good day!
