Gnome seems to be leading at the moment but I bet that KDE wins in the end by large margin. I gave my vote to XFCE, which I use sometimes because it's quite nice.
However, I much prefer to use Window Maker with perlpanel or fbpanel (and with gnome-panel in Frugalware because Frugalware doesn't yet come with any another decent panel). Add there some select dockapps (mixer.app, mount.app, wmcdplay, wmshutdown), aterm, gkrellm, a file manager (xfe), firefox, sylpheed-gtk2, gftp, openoffice, leafpad, xpdf, gtklp, a GUI client to dictd, gimp, gthumb, gxine, zinf, grip, x-cd-roast, games, xlockmore, customized appicons, a cool wallpaper, etc. -- and you've got a "desktop environment" that is slicker and faster than KDE or Gnome.
