It's pretty much your ideal situation.  You can run KDE applications on Gnome without any trouble - It's simply a matter of adding the applications using Add/Remove (just like any other piece of software).  For example, I'm running Ubuntu (Gnome) but as I can't live without the KDE music player amaroK (at least until Exaile! is more mature), I have installed amaroK using Add/Remote and it runs fine. However, (and didn't you just knew that there was a but coming next!) there are two things to bare in mind when running KDE applications on Gnome: 1. The look and feel of the application won't be the same as a native Gnome applications. This normally shouldn't be a problem, and the applications themselves are perfectly usable. 2. Because they have to load the KDE libraries, they will generally more memory hungry that the Gnome equivalents. I hope this is of some help/reassurance to you (because I'm aware that I'm just restating what has previously been posted). </div> Super.  Thank you for taking the trouble to be so plain.  Now, where, please, can I find a substitute for iphoto, please - I don't want to be shackled  to  mac any longer than I have to.</blockquote><div>  </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
