Well, you can always look in your kde/bin or gnome/bin to see all the 
programs. SuSE has a good menu and I rarely needed to edit the menu to 
add/delete entries.

KDE programs will run fine in gnome and vice versa I believe. You just have to 
have the libraries installed, which are installed in pretty much any 
distribution. If you use more KDE programs, then you should use KDE because 
it will save you A. memory B. headache
