In no way did I want to:

a) Say anything at all about KDE 4, because I've only tried it briefly
on a Live CD.

b) Start a discussion about the technical merits of KDE vs Gnome.

If that's what you think my comment was about, I'm afraid you missed the
point. I stand by what I said already. This is not a technical argument,
it's about the orientation of both the Fedora docs (official and
unofficial) and a fair amount of the traffic on this list. Unless the
topic is specifically about some KDE issue, the underlying assumption is
that one is using Gnome. In other words, Fedora is a Gnome-oriented
distro that also supports KDE.
