I can only say to read the release notes for it. I don't know the specific differences between them. I can say that I don't have problems using Gnome with them. I don't have KDE on my system. You could try seeing whether you get a hang if you were using Gnome instead of KDE (or any other-than-KDE window manager), as a quick test. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
