No I don't think this is true. I mean are there difference apart from the look or command line parameters whatever? In functionality (of course look would be a criteria in kde and gnome but they have a strong focus on the look while bandwidht limitation tools should have a strong focus on bandwith limitation) for example? Thats what differs in kde and gnome. Does it differ here too?
