I can’t believe I’m typing this. I’m logged in with gnome as my desktop. I’m going to use it on all my computers for the next few days or a week and see how it goes. KDE4 bothers me this much. KDE4 keeps getting better, but I believe it will take at least another year to reach the polish of KDE 3.5. and I’m finding that in ubuntu, gnome is actually MORE polished than my beloved KDE 3.
