So that's a good argument for Konsole, but not necessarily KDE in 
general, unless the Konsole session management features don't work under 
GNOME. (I guess I should test that.)


Another area of differentiation between the two environments is the 
bundled file manager. I find GNOME's Nautilus intuitive and adequate, 
although nothing special. However I've noticed it can also chew up a ton 
up memory (hundreds of megabytes), so if I stuck with GNOME I'd likely 
seek an alternate file manager. On the KDE side I've read how the file 
manager pops up a dialog asking you whether you want to copy/move/link a 
dragged-and-dropped file, which sounds annoying. So again, I'd likely 
seek an alternate file manager.

Any recommendations for alternate file managers?
