Don't kill konqueror it's my default ftp client.  

There are already a bunch of Gnome centric distros.

KDE centric would be no issue nobody else is so in fact it would be a 
excellent point of difference.  In fact, if it was my decision I'd leave Gnome 
to Ubuntu, Redhat, CentOS, Debian, Solaris and all those Gnome centric distros 
and concentrate on being the best KDE environment.
