kubuntu vs ubuntu

[Simon Rönnqvist]

Looks and functionality are two different things. As I said earlier, I think 
that KDE has a Windows-like default look... while as Gnome actually is more 
traditional and therefore closer to ie. Windows, at least if one rearranges 
the menus a bit. My whole point was that the windows-like looks of KDE 
communicate the wrong message, just because it actually is more different. So 
many people get the wrong idea from the looks.

BTW. One is able to change the settings so that one doesn't have to 
double-click in Gnome. But that doesn't count in case we're talking about 
default behavior... ;-)

  cheers, Simon
