Good Bye Gnome, Hello KDE, I hope

Here's my chance to do a little whining. I've been having problems with both
Gnome and KDE on a development server I have (RH7.3). I hardly ever use
either, but it seems whenever I use either for much more than reading email
the system tends to become unstable, may even crash sometimes, or the disk
gets corrupted and requires repair on the next boot. Not very impressive for
a system reputed to be sooooo stable.
