I have never understood the point of KDE or Gnome, other than
(perhaps) as eye candy for the uninitiated.  If I wanted a
Windows desktop, I would install Windows.  If I wanted a Mac
desktop, I would use a Mac.

I do use a few applications that were written using the Gnome
or KDE _toolkits_, but that doesn't require me to run the whole
Gnome or KDE "environment" (aka resource hog).  Fvwm2 seems to
be a perfectly adequate window manager.
