Um? This makes no sense. KDE and GNOME aren't just collections of apps. You can run most GNOME apps quite happily under KDE, vice versa, and run apps from either on any other WM, so long as you have the necessary libraries and stuff installed. To get the benefits of KDE or GNOME *as desktop environments*, though, you have to run the whole bundle. The apps don't define the environments. (btw, your reply-to is broken again.) -- adamw
