My prediction is that if I would compare the two, when I would boot the kde desktop instead of cinnamon, I would have a lot more kde-related stuff with standard. That being said, I don't recall the cinnamon menu being cluttered w/ kde stuff, so maybe somehow that is being avoided differently than it was years ago when I did a 'dual' Gnome-KDE exam. -- Mike Easter
