I seriously think Red Hat did a disservice to choice when they (you)
decided to make the KDE and GNOME desktops look and feel the same by
*default* in its distribution.

The point really is not that the KDE and GNOME desktop environments
should look, feel and act the same but that GNOME applications should
work well and integrate properly into a KDE environment and
vice-versa.

So given Red Hat's track record of side-lining core KDE apps by
default and removing any trace of distinctiveness, it seems like they
(you) are not at all interested in promoting choice.

Later,
Navin.
