+[KDE] and [GNOME] are
the two most popular [DesktopEnvironment]s
for [Linux

-Often used because it
is easy to configure, and can look similar to windows
by default. Great for newbies and highly configureable by those
more advanced. A bit too much eye candy for some
, perhaps

+[KDE] is currently at version 3.5. It
is easy to configure, and can look similar to MicrosoftWindows
by default. Beginners can easily get around, while
more advanced users can customize it extensively
. It is also heavy on EyeCandy and considered as even more [Bloat]ed than [GNOME]. European [LinuxDistribution]s tend to prefer [KDE]
, while American ones often go with [GNOME] instead

-KDE has recently hit version 3.1 (it must be better than Gnome, it has a higher version number!). It uses
TrollTech's [Qt] widget library

-!! Removing the stupid dragon from KDE's Logout window
-
-When you logout from KDE you will see a cute cartoon of a dragon in the logout window. It is called [Konqi|http
://dot.kde.org/988686464/]. After your 100th logout Konqi will no longer be cute. The dragon cartoon is stored in a
[PNG
] file called __shutdownkonq.png__ which can be overwritten with anything you like. (Pictures with transparent backgrounds will look the best.) This file is found in the directory __/usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on RedHat and in __/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on [Mandrake].
