I would suggest staying away from KDE/Gnome due to a lot of limiting factors in using either as a desktop. Those two are common, but there are much better out there. I would suggest you find ports you like and roll your own desktop solution. If you really don't want to go through all that time messing with it all, XFCE offers a better than average prerolled desktop solution, still not that well put together in some aspects. For security, the handbook is nice :)
