Agreed. My point was that installing gnome or kde apps on an otherwise lightweight desktop pulls in other dependencies that add to the "bloat" and make it not quite so "light" any more, which may be a problem for users installing it on older/lower spec hardware for reasons of "light-ness". More a general observation than a complaint or criticism (coming from a KDE4 user since 4.0.4), but one that new users (esp. those new to linux) may not be aware of at first (but they'll soon learn). ;-).
