It's not about what it can and cannot do (every time), it's about what it does by default
sometimes. KDE does have a more m$ feel for those that care to have a smoother
transistion. For myself, if I can download the source for multi-gnome term and get one
multi gnome term session going in a few different desktops with lots of bash sessions in
each, I'm happy. I don't look in the control center unless I feel doing so might solve a
problem I am having. I use gnome about %80 of the time and KDE the rest, so I guess you
could call me a gnome user, just not a gnome experimenter. I guess I'm just easy to
please.
KDE v Gnome Hogwash? I don't get into that, I like them both. Multi-gnome term works in
both of them. As for asking ME not to comment on it, sorry to offend, but comment I
will. The question was "What specifically is easier in KDE than in GNOME?". I gave a
specific from the perspective of someone that does not try every option in the control
panel to see what it does.
