Hear, hear!

The thing that really bugs me about KDE is the fact that its
applications take over menus at the edge of the screen.  I prefer that
the apps that I run stay within their own boundaries, and Gnome does
indeed take that approach.

I doubt that KDE 4 changes that design aspect, and so doubt that it
will be more attractive to me.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my evaluation of this design
aspect, but those with open minds should realize that this is the sort
of thing that will lead to personal preference...
