*Warning* KDE lurker jumping in... :o)

How about just authoring a considered response or two in blogs / elsewhere, 
then submitting your own story to Slashdot to the effect of "here's a 
criticism of GNOME, and here's our considered response". Be open and honest 
but also put the flamebaiting to rest.

Really, if anyone can get that worked up at the lack of control over the 
colour of the window title bar then an adult response from you guys will only 
make the article (assuming it's similar in tenor to the forwarded email) look 
like a childish spat covering some interesting issues.
