Another thing to consider is the programs you use most. KDE based
programs use the QT libraries and Gnome is based on the GTK+ libraries.
It may be that Kubuntu loads the GTK+ libraries by defaults but QT
libraries are not loaded in Gnome. I may just be speaking non-sense but
and idea of where some of the discrepancy may be located.......
I know when I got to install some programs via apt-get I have to get all
the QT libraries that support it. Just a thought
