The GNOME apps should run just fine under KDE and vice versa. At work this
seems to be the case. I'm not sure how they'd run any better or worse under
one system than under the other, except for a possible slightly longer load
time if some libs weren't pre-loaded and have to be loaded at the time the app
is run.

At home I run only GNOME, so perhaps there is some serious issue I'm not aware
of that is taken care of behind the scenes at work.
