The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

You are _so_ right about KDE having the best technology and just needs polish of the default GUI settings.
Using the GNOME HIG is a good idea, since the current problem with yes/no-buttons is really, really stupid. A polish of KDE and a standard format for widget themes (maybe developed by freedesktop.org) that all toolkits can use would really be the best thing to happen to the Linux desktop.
Good article!
