During installations , I am selecting both Gnome and KDE because some packages are inserted only into KDE menus . If the KDE is not selected , those packages are not available in Gnome menus , and they should be inserted into Gnome menus one by one ( for me , this is a difficult task , because it requires to find proper executable to insert it into menu ) . Within package installation logic , checking not only KDE or Gnome presence but both will eliminate requirement of KDE for Gnome because package executable names will appear also in Gnome menus . (2) In /etc/rc.conf , it is possible to specify gnome_enable , but for KDE , there is no such possibility ( with respect to my present knowledge , but I checked Handbook just now , there is no such a definition ) . Making available KDE_enable in /etc/rc.conf would be useful , also . The users easily may select any of them . Thank you very much .
