Actually the whole Gnome Vs KDE argument is trivial its a bit like drinking 
coffee, do you have pasteurised or sterilised milk in it?

Both milks make a coffee its just personal preference. I prefer one tool bar 
for the same reason as already stated in that I like as much desktop as 
possible. 

As always the whole Gnome over KDE thing IMO is looked at from the wrong angel 
its not about functionality its simpley about 'look and feel' (Coffee 
preference) I've always considered Gnome to be "Sugary spice and all things 
nice" and KDE to be more how a business desktop should look but even that 
statement is not true as you can put as much eye candy on KDE as your 
processor can handle.

Most of my systems are hemaphrodites using bits from both. I'm not keen on the 
way Novell is going with their version of the Gnome desktop the icons look 
cold and lifeless however we need to remember Novell is a business with 
business users and is not looking to cater to the home user market persay.

As for SuSE 10.1 I've been very entertained by the mailing list for the last 
couple of weeks loads of mails crying that it wasn't available, it gets 
released (Thur/Friday) and already loads of mails crying "this or that is 
broken" Dosen't anyone learn? Is it 'one-upmanship' by any chance?
