i use KDE and the system monitor utility works as expected with a 2.6 kernel.  
I dont have gnome installed to test it but i assume it should work ok.  I 
have noticed on my duron 1ghz  system  that it performs alot better than it 
was with Shrike or even FC witha 2.4 kernel.  the new init scripts also help 
for a much faster boot time
