I did a little digging too. I'm running kde-2.2 but the latest is the 3.0 
stuff that's sort of emerging. One of the differences is that the new 
stuff supports the ability for the mouse to 'push' against the edge of a 
desktop to get to the next one. Which version of kde did you look at?

Incidentally, the reason I had to switch back to KDE was because running 
gnus in emacs would crash emacs. This was 100% reproducible in gnome and 
not in kde. Go figgur.

BTW, how many do we have on this list?
