This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

KDE doesn't have disk mounting applets AFAIK. Also, the applet menu is categorised iconised in GNOME. Most KDE preferences must be used from the Kontrol Center which means that they will require plenty of resources (which KDE does anyway). Nautilus uses an anti-aliased translucent selection rectangle whereas KDE has an ugly inverted dot one.
Theme selection is another area where GNOME stands out. It is must simpler and easy to use. Themes for the entire desktop can be changed with one click where KDE usually requires one for the style, one for the window decoration, one for the colors and other one for .... etc.
GNOME allows you to set actions when Data CDs, blank CDs, Audio CDs, DVDs etc are inserted as well as integrated CD burning support and KDE does not provide either AFAIK.
