Here is one for instance.  Most new computer users are not sure wheather you have double
clicked correctly or not.  KDE will give you the windowsesque hourglass equivalent and
gnome won't.  Now myself, not a big deal.  I do however sit every once in a while for
about 10 seconds and then go, DOH bad doubleclick and I did not evan know it.  Now I've
assisted new users in micro$ and sat with them for 10-15 minutes just teaching them how to
use the program in m$ control panel to learn how to double click and change the defaults
of clickspeed.  I would not evan try to teach those people that same thing in gnome.
