Same here - I use mostly KDE when I use Linux.  Having tried Gnome I 
find that it is not as configurable as I would like.

Also some of the ways of doing things in Gnome is very counter-intuitive 
eg changing which program you want to open a type of file.  Its in the 
right click menu for a file in Gnome and its in the Control Centre in KDE.

I had to ask on a forum before I found the way of doing it in Gnome. 
I'll probably install Dapper Ubuntu and just see what the new version of 
Gnomes like but will probably re-install Dapper Kubuntu...
