Switching to Gnome from KDE

[Dotan Cohen]

After playing with Gnome a bit, I _might_ switch from KDE. I need to
know these few things first:

1) Which text editor can I use to replace Kate? I specifically need to
bookmark directories on remote machines inside the editor interface.
Kate, via the fish protocol (ssh), is perfect for this. Has Gnome an
equivelent?

2) As I place the Windows List on the right side of the screen, I want
it to display only the icons for the windows, not the title. How do I
disable the title display?

3) The desktop icons are a mess of different sizes. How do I define a
single, uniform size for them, such as displayed in Nautilus? There
seems to be no option for such anywhere I look.

4) Although I can browse remote machines via FTP in Nautilus, when I
open a file for editing I cannot save it. How do I enable save for
files that I open? As I thought that it may be a permissions problem
(even though I can save those files when opened in KDE) I tried to
check their permissions and got this error: "The permissions of xxx
cannot be determined". Why?
