You are 'clearly' mistaken, I will tell you, there are no politics 
involved.  I personally do not like kde at all, appears to much like 
windows to me and takes forever to startup.  I use gnome on both my 
laptop and desktop boxes. I'm specifically focusing on the menu 
transistions, and on both of these boxes, kde is faster then gnome.

I did note that I use a combination of Enlightenment with Gnome and was 
wondering whether that might be part of the problem.  I've never tried 
running kde on top of Enlightenment as I've never had an interest in 
putting the time/effort into it.

I just tried it again and I still see that with the menu transistion, 
kde is faster.
