my 2 cents

KDE is by far the best desktop environment I've ever used because I can customize it and there are tons of cool features.

I simply cannot use Gnome because I can't get the windows to grab each other properly. The behavior is exactly the same as Microsoft Windows here. Will this ever be fixed?

XFCE is perfect if you have resource limitations. I installed Gentoo on an old computer at work to use as a second workstation. It's a 700 MHz PIII with 128 MB RAM. I wouldn't even dream of trying to run KDE plus other things on that box, but XFCE runs wonderfully and I can easily configure the window behavior to my preferences.
