I have taken a screenshot of a regular gnome desktop, just to show how
much more beautiful it can become if you just implement a few things..
definantly for kde4, but preferably for 3.5.x too.

Here you see the rubberband selector, that is transparent (without
performance penalties at all, completely smooth, while the
implementation I have seen on kde-look.org for kde is slow like hxll!
Also the selected icons get a nice rounded and anti-aliased selection,
with a little space. You also see the selected, but inactive
"Filesystem" Icon. The window decorations is also rounded.
Also the icons of the movies are previews, which are beautifully done
with a movie-film-like effect blended in. I'd LOVE to see stuff like
this in kde. Font sizes and color inversion depending on hue is also nice!
I'd like some comments, a little hestitant to post it on bugs.kde.org,
since I allways get voted down there! :/
A beautiful first-impression is very important. If I knew nothing about
the two, I'd like gnome 2.12's default look better than the kde's atm.
This has changed due to gnome doing eyecandy improvements over the past
releases!
