For a while I'd try gnome after each upgrade, but always find something that I couldn't configure to my liking and switch back to KDE. Then came KDE4, with lots of bells and whistles. I managed, with the help of google, to remove the icons from my desktop. But I couldn't get rid of these little translucent nutty cashew thingies, and if I accidentally clicked on one then odd things would happen. And I could no longer configure the keyboard the way I wanted. In KDE! So I bailed. Back to gnome, but only until I'd installed lxde on the box. Now I'm a happy camper again.
