Perhaps I'm still hanging on from when I was a part of gnomes target
audience!

Last time I tried KDE, I came into many things I couldn't customise. 
Maybe I just didn't know enough about it.  I'll try again when I have
some more time.  No doubt many people here would be willing to help me
make the transition ;-)  Can you use the same window
borders/icons/themes with kde or is that a specific gnome thing?
