Yes, that's exactly what I meant: SuSE and KDE always were like the two fingers of the hand :-) Putting Gnome as default on SuSE feels like if Ubuntu was changing to KDE and creating a new Gubuntu project for Gnome users. It would lose its soul IMO (and that's from a Kubuntu user!).

Since when is Gnome default?

I wonder where you have that "Gnome is default" stuff from? Because it's definitely untrue. SUSE 10.1 gives you the choice when installing and neither KDE, nor Gnome is preselected. The choices are equal. And this doesn't change with 10.2 AFAIK.

Yes, it's true, that there are now mono- (and thus gtk2) based administration programs like the software updater and the compiz configuration. But for both of them the next version will have KDE-based replacements. And the new software updater looks really nice.

Sometimes it really is better to build your own opinion and see first hand. Which ain't really difficult with everything being available for free and such.

They do that and then rethink about the decision. And I think that the default destop for SLED is gnome.
