I prefer Gnome to KDE generally, but there are some KDE apps that are really nice so I install and run them on my gnome desktop.  I know that means some library duplication and probably various kinds of overhead,  But that is the extent of my knowledge.  I don't see any obvious negatives so far though this is a 
3.0 GHz P4 with HT on 1 GB ram so should have plenty of horsepower for such things.&nbsp; But ...<br><br>1) Might I lose any functionality running the KDE apps under Gnome?<br>2) Are there definitive caveats or known problems doing so (or a list somewhere)?
<br>3) Is there any way to get an idea of how badly resources are being wasted?<br clear="all"><br>Specific example: Comparing AmaroK to Sound Juicer is like comparing a 67 Corvette to a Model T.&nbsp; But when I was looking through preferences I got a report that there had been an error running/accessing/??? aRTs (sic) for AmaroK.&nbsp; I ended up turning it aff and I can't even find out what it is.
