SuSE 9.1 came with gnome 2.4, just after 2.6 was out, you've seen various updates of KDE 3.2.x and now 3.3.0, you still haven't seen a 2.6.x update of gnome and when you see it gnome will be 2.7.x or later.
Hmmm. I pointed apt at the gnome component on ftp.gwdg.de - it fetched a bunch of stuff, and now the gnome splash screen on my SuSE 9.1 system says gnome 2.6. The only thing I had to watch out for was to *not* upgrade mozilla - the gnome browsers on my system would be deleted if I did (they have an inflexible dependency on the older mozilla modules). I have not tried compiling apps for gnome. But so far on SuSE 9.1 the main place for me that kde was "smoother" than gnome was when I wanted to add some sort of menu (list) to a panel. With kde, I can "pull" the menu list object into the panel - but gnome "pulls" only launchers (not menus). mikus
