John, Why not GNOME as the default, its one of the most popular desktops, and is the default on many of the major Linux distros (and Solaris)?
Ubuntu have GNOME, but they also have Kubuntu, which is the same base OS with KDE as the default - there is no reason that once Indiana is out there that you couldn't manage a minor fork, using KDE as the main desktop instead of GNOME - I feel that people tend to get too sensitive about the default desktop, when in reality this is simply a choice that you can make when you log in...
