When it comes to vulnerabilities, its not the number but the severity that matters and GNOME clearly has more severe of them.

As about GNOME's vulnerabilities,it is got fixed really fast..
I don't think so. You should see the "Solution status" on the Secunia links I posted in my earlier post. You will find that out of the 5 vulnerabilities found in GNOME since 2003, none has been patched till date while out of 30 found in KDE, only one is still unpatched. Now you should decide yourself as to who is fixing the vulnerabilities faster.

GNOME exists as a 100% free DE.
So does KDE.

Trolltech's ambitions with qt/kde are not that good looking for OSS.
Please be kind enough to explain that statement.

Lets just stay with security issues, else this topic will become a flame war
