[ale] KDE vs. GNOME

[Fulton Green]

First things first:  KDE and GNOME are desktop environments, NOT window
managers.  However, they both employ window managers as part of their
overall scheme: KDE uses "kwm" by default, whereas GNOME only requires a
GNOME-compliant (or something to that effect) WM.  Red Hat currently uses
the newer Metacity, while other distros may use Sawfish or even
Enlightenment in their setups.

So are you really asking about the window managers of KDE 3.x and GNOME 2.x,
or did you mean the overall environment?
