+I saw that suggestion from somebody (in a post to this or the 
+mageia-discuss list). Mandriva officially supports both KDE and Gnome, 
+to my understanding.
+Since I came to Mandriva from RedHat, I'm more used to Gnome.
+I've tried KDE; it take a lot more space, and Gnome suits me better.
+So evidently, I'd like Mageia to support both.
