I saw that suggestion from somebody (in a post to this or the 
mageia-discuss list). Mandriva officially supports both KDE and Gnome, 
to my understanding.
Since I came to Mandriva from RedHat, I'm more used to Gnome.
I've tried KDE; it take a lot more space, and Gnome suits me better.
So evidently, I'd like Mageia to support both.
