when SuSE offered KDE before Gnome on the installation screen? Recall
the bruhaha when Novell moved Gnome into first place? I'm sure that
some wags are thinking that offering KDE 4.0 as "finished" will
encourage new users to use Gnome after being burned by the KDE monster.
All that being said, I think Novell has been doing a good job. KDE
is still a choice, after all. Things could be worse...
