i hope so. i thought about doing, but kde is enought work for me.
and packageing both - kde and gnome - would be evil :-)

stop. don't talk about vaporware. there is not much that can call itself
gnome, and we should wait for a rist beta or a 1.0 version before
declaring something as "preferred graphical environment". 

and i like my collection of afterstep, filerunner, vim, xterm, tkirc
much more than any "desktop environment" that only looks good, because
it's good software.

don't join the desktop environment hype, we should not take position in
that battle. (we have enought battle to fight without that).
