Came across this article that featured KBFX, the alternative application for KDE, which IMHO is a whole lot more appealing than what KDE and Gnome , for that matter currently has by stock. The KBFX project, by the way was started by our very own, Kandy resident, Siraj Razick, but now has few other developers & graphic artists contributing from around the world.
KBFX is quite popular because it enables one to theme the menu system in addition to providing a much cleaner UI to find all those apps. Popular eye candy portal, KDE-Look, even has a separate KBFX Theme category.
Anyway check out the article:
