The Debian project leader, Bruce Parens, is hoping that GNOME
(http://www.gnome.org) will become The "desktop" environment for X.
The problem with KDE is that it is based on Qt which has a creative (or
strange depending on one's perspective) license which does not pass the
Sunsite or Debian criteria for free software
(http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html#guidelines). The problem
with the GNOME project is that it is very young and is experiencing
growing pains.
