I have KDE and xfce installed as my gui's... I use both window managers. But, 
I must admit that I use KDE less and less. KDE has become porkware (Even when 
you compile it on your machines, the performance gains are less than stellar) 
and xfce is fast and responsive (Even if it's a stock RPM and not 
compiled/optimized for any of my machines). I've looked at some of the source 
for KDE and from what I saw, it's a mess. They include code and paths to 
libraries in source that adds nothing in the way of functionality. Looking at 
it reminded me of what legacy code (On occasion) looks like...  As a 
programmer porting legacy code, you port the code and once it works, you 
don't putz with it too much for fear that doing so will break it elsewhere... 
Things get left in legacy code that have no purpose or are inefficent. Kind 
of like what I saw in the little bit of KDE code I looked at.


Best
