I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

Oh yeah, and nautilus' "spatial" behaviour that leaves a whole bunch of windows open really really sucks rocks.
It's possible to navigate spatially and not leave window droppings everywhere. It's also possible to disable nautilus' spatial behaviour.
What really sucks is this demonstrated lack of reading ability combined with a tendency to demand instant results without requiring any effort.
And a bunch of you are bitching about the brown? Jesus wept... Why don't you just tattoo "my technical opinion is worthless" on your foreheads and save us all the hassle? Yes, I do realise that the initial appearance of an app plays a part in its acceptance... I just question the validity of wanting it to look like Every Other Linux Distro simply because changing the background is such a crippling operation for some.
