Sorry, that was meant for the subscribers of the "html-attachment
conspiracy theory", not you or your text personally. I agree, it was
unnclearly typed and should have started with "To all html-theory
believers:", but I plead for my current slight fever and cough for
minor typos and misthoughts. :)

I run KDE as well (so maybe I'm biased to comment about gnome-related
stuff?) and recently fixed a very trivial and minor bug in esound
(part of Gnome, possibly outdated?). Happily filed a bug upstream. A
month counting so far with no changes to the bug at all, while the
Gentoo Gnome team threw the one-line patch in the tree within hours, I
think.

That's my recent experience with helping with gnome issues. Not really
exciting, so I'm skipping the gnome-threads when busy, which is quite
often. Gnome-help is under the rock someplace.

KDE is known to break constantly (double that for KDE4), so perhaps it
has more fixing knowledge "spread out there"? This still doesn't say
that KDE is better than Gnome. When busy I just love using Ubuntu --
it shows what Gnome can be: no fuss, pleasant etc (but the OK-buttons
are backwards! ;) ), while Kubuntu is ... a bit clunky feeling.
