Well I can take your word on that. However, it is handly encouraging when one selects all KDE apps in Anaconda-Pirut and then I boot and find gdm. And the only way to fix tha tis to manually uninstall gdm or edit /etc/X11/predm
It is hardly encouraging to see posts implying that KDE is intentionally crippled" on fedora-devel ;)

I hardly think that KDE is intentionally crippled at all. If anything my guess is that it just isn't as thoroughly tested. I think this reflects more on the participation of KDE users in the testing process of the Fedora development process. I guess the only proof to that statement would be some fancy bugzilla reporting. If a bug exists for one community or the other, it isn't going to be fixed unless it is reported.
One factor to consider is those that have a preference for either KDE or Gnome are likely to choose a distro that defaults to their preferred desktop. So, since Fedora defaults to Gnome, it's more likely that Gnome users will use it (which makes it a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy).
I wouldn't be surprised to find that distros that default to KDE get less testing with Gnome.
I completely agree that can be the case. Looking back at my statement I can see how it can be mis-construed. I didn't mean that the KDE users weren't pulling their weight in debugging. In participation I clearly meant numbers of user and bugs filed, which also might be wrong. That is why I suggested looking at bugzilla. Obviously the proper solution to this isn't to discuss the holy trinity, but for the original poster to file a bugzilla and get the issued resolved.
