Does not gnome already come with utilities to administrate users? I have seen 
someone with a seemingly default gnome installation go to a control panel 
type menu and bring up an add/remove users window. (however it is possible 
that it could have been a pre-packaged extra for that linux distro).

What do you mean? Are you talking about a program to browse files, or 
administer your hard disk(s) partions? Both gnome and kde come with file 
browsers. I would reccomend that you dont use a gui utility (if one even 
exists) to manage your hard disk partions. But learn how to do it from the 
command line, because if you do have troubles with hard disk partions and 
allocation, you are most likely going to have to fix it from the command 
line.

This is probably not a very helpful answer, in choosing between gnome and kde, 
kde (for me personally) won because the kde mail client is very nice! You 
could probably run the kde mail client under gnome...
