Novell moving to Gnome didn't come as a suprise to me, it makes quite alot of sense, the amount of apps starting up on linux that are generally GTK+ based is greatly out weighing the QT and KDE apps.
However don't forget Gnome and KDE have similar goals, and so are thus in competition. If Gnome is being favoured more, then this is just more fuel for the fire in the KDE camps.
With this move aswell it does leave a gap in the linux distrobution market, for a KDE-centric distro.
