Installing Debian -- recently -- gave me a KDE default.

As I recall, installing Mandrake a few years ago gave me a GNOME 
default.

The make-or-break would be which document types does she need 
compatibility with?  Gnumeric seems to claim better import/export than 
KSpread, but I haven't used either. (To state tbe obvious, Gnumeric is 
GNOME, KSpread is KDE).  Abiword is an excellent word processor, and I 
know it has a GNOME interface as well as a GTK one.
