I know this is off topic, but I can't resist the temptation to express my 
fears.  I keep reading stuff about GNOME's partners.  And that includes 
Novell.  And Novell is SuSE which apparently has been "sharing" developers 
with KDE.  And GNOME has other partners like Sun and others including maybe 
IBM (I don't exactly recall).  As I see it, there is a corporate push to put 
GNOME on the desktop.  And so I worry about KDE's future.  And I started out 
with GNOME.
