I installed all of the software using defaults.
I have to double click desktop icons under GNOME. I single click under KDE.
It's an option. I prefer to have the ability to select an icon without activating it.
But I can give you the answer you seek: KDE is far superior to Gnome.
At this point, I think that I agree with you. Accept,of course, that "My Computer" in KDE doesn't work for me and "Computer" in GNOME does work for me.
In KDE, I can still go to the /media directory and access all of my CDs. USB memory cards, etc. However, it would be a whole lot more convenient if "My Computer" gave me icons for them.
That one trivial thing couldn't possible tip the balance, could it? How often do you navigate to a file from the root of the file system or of a given mass storage device, anyway? It kind of flies in the face of thinking double-clicking is too much work to open an icon to have to interpose so many access steps between you and your files, doesn't it?
Thanks, John
