Yes, both are themable to be how you like, as you say its not really the 
problem.  Then what is? .......

Same here: when I try Gnome its *Nautilus* that makes me want to get rid of 
it.  Gnome itself is okay, the widgets, applets are okay... the whole thing 
is usuable and fine... except its *Nautilus* that compares very badly in my 
opinion with Konqueror.  Maybe its my usage pattern, but within a few minutes 
I manage to make it unbearably slow.  Open an image directory and it turns to 
treacle as it parses the images for thumbnails -- did that last week on my 
stepson's laptop.  Open many instances and it becomes treacly too -- this is 
from some time ago.  If other people have the same experience, it may not be 
anti-gnome feeling out there but anti-Nautilus feeling!
