I have to agree about Gnome's stability. I like Gnome's looks, but it's
a bit too ...thrown together. Kde is coherent and stable as a rock on
FreeBSD in my experience.
One thing is, how come Kde only comes with a small handful of themes
when built using the ports? When I was running linux mandrake, I had no
fewer than 20 themes that came with Kde. The same is true of
enlightenment under FreeBSD. There isn't even the "clean" theme that
goes so well with Gnome. This is in fact a big reason I won't use
Gnome.
