I saw a general survey possibly on techrepublic that alleged
reasonable data collection methods (though I don't recall how the data
was collected) suggesting that xfce was very close or overtaken Gnome
now and KDE was the most widely used desktop.
On those grounds I would therefore advocate KDE as default, however I am
not fond of the lack of modularity of KDE, whereas with xfce it is a
primary goal making users able to shape their debian for whatever
general usage easily and fast is fast on fast systems too.
