Possibly the folks at Unique Systems (http://www.uniqsys.com/) have.  I 
know that their
"official" success story (involving a WordPerfect, X, and a law office 
in the Detroit area)
used KDE, but they are officially desktop-agnostic (and I know from the 
LUG that
their people are split on the KDE-GNOME war :) ).

Glenn, any GNOME setup stories you or someone else can share?  Is KDE 
really easier
to set up for remote desktops, or doesn't it matter in your experience?


[Note: I have no connection with Unique Systems other than having 
evaluated and
recommended them for a previous job, and of interaction in TALUG 
(http://www.talug.org).
So I'm not getting any kickbacks from plugging them. :) ]
