> Eugenia, where do you get these figures you're always quoting for usage from?

This figure is a summarization of many polls on a number of OSS news sites, including the recent big OSNews one (gnome had 17% there and KDE 46% in our recent poll). Also, at OSNews we can see which articles have more popularity in general, gnome-related or kde-related. Putting all together, KDE has above 50% and we have witnessed it to continue to rising fast, especially
after its 3.0 release, while Gnome is steadily declines to less than 20-22%.
Personally, I still use WindowMaker or Blackbox (both around at 8% currently). I am neither a KDE or a Gnome user, while I do have them installed, along with 5-6 more windowing environments.
