Well, at home I prefer the KDE desktop, but Gnome applications. :-)

And on my 300Mhz laptop I don't have a desktop at all, just a window manger (icewm). I wonder what is the article writer's definition of a desktop?

Btw. The reason why I prefer KDE desktop is KMail as at work I've started to really dislike Evolution (I need to use it at work as on my RedHat for some reason all KDE program crash).

Evolution (1.x version) is full of all kinds of little annoyances; copy of editor window text disappears after the window is closed, it freezes often (mainly with calendar mails, but also with ldap and e.g. when I got 30 000 bugmails from Bugzilla in 5 mins.), opening new mail window is slow etc. On the positive side it has never lost a mail (unlike older Mozilla mailer) and works quite well with MS-Exchange (as compared to e.g. older Thunderbird version), its usage (responsiveness etc.) is just more annoying than of any other mailer.
