kde is by no means perfect. The last time I tried gnome, however, it was
far worse.
Just one example: I still hate that all or most of the gnome
applications I use (firefox and OO.o are the most prominent) continue to
igonre my global setting of A4 paper
/-----------------
johannes2:~$ cat /etc/papersize
a4
\-----------------
and use their own 'letter' default. They also have their own respective
printer managers instead one default printer manager for all
applications (kprinter for kde).
YMMV, just MHO,
Johannes

That is indeed irritating, but those are not GNOME applications.

Err, yes.
[Me hiding in the corner. ]
They have, however, been integrated into the look and feel of GNOME,
rather than kde. This applies probably to the printing system.
If I open a pdf from iceweasel (shouldn't have written firefox) and
don't use the standard 'document viewer' (what is that? another GNOME
application!), I get GNOME's file selection dialog, etc, etc.

I don't know about your preferences and your display, but you could
alternatively try to use 'configure panel -> arrangement' Size: small or
tiny. For my display and liking, the smaller size of the panel is
sufficient and I get more information per pixel.
As suggested in another post, you can get a child panel as follows: just
right-click somewhere on the (little??) free space of your panel. Then
"add new panel -> external task bar".
HTH,
Johannes
