That's beside the point - Ubuntu is a GNOME-based distro, Kubuntu is
just a spin-off project, but why don't you try comparing the numbers
to a KDE default distro?

Again - I say look at a distro with a default KDE desktop. It strikes
me, having just looked for some, that very few distros use KDE as the
default. Does this not say something to you?
