Generally, very little. Most of what is different is cosmetic. When you
stick to applications from one or the other, you can do things like drag
and drop, i.e. from a gnome file manager window you can drag and drop a
jpg onto your gnome panel, and it will become decorated by that jpg file.
KDE does similar things. I believe I'd heard that there was going to be
more cooperation between the two groups, so that their applications would
interoperate better. But maybe that was a pipe dream... ;)
