There's a huge difference.  GDM is nothing more than a GUI login app with
a couple of bells, whistles, gongs, and sirens tacked on.  KDE is an entire
desktop suite.  They're not exactly comparable.

KDE, why not just try 'em for yourself and see?  That's what I did.

The same.  You'll need to edit your .xsession and have it do
exec gnome-session
instead of whatever's currently there.
