Mainstream windows managers (and their display manager) increasingly add functions formerly provided by the OS, the file system, and X. Adding yet another layer, adding a source of conflicts between your legacy security settings. (i.e.: who is in control of file permissions, or which one has the last word when enabling/disabling port forwarding for ssh).

As they say in the financial markets: "In doubt, stay out". Both GNOME and KDE now are off limits on my production systems.
