I've noticed that some apps, for which I used to have to have GNOME installed 
because not all their functions would work over other desktops (e.g. 
Abiword), now work fine over KDE, and in Abiword's case, over JWM. I always 
found GNOME (and its browsers) buggy, and I'm glad to have got rid of it in 
my latest SuSE 10.1 installation (though of course Novell tried to make it 
the default)...
