I'm not talking about unix. I'm talking specifically about Ubuntu Linux. As far as I know Ubuntu has always used Gnome by default. Sure, you can install any window manager you want but linux newbies don't generally do that.
KDE hasn't been popular since KDE 3. It's almost dead. I know one person who uses a KDE desktop because he likes the stupid little desktop widgets. Everyone I know who uses linux on the desktop is using Gnome, XFCE or Openbox. Once more distros pick up Gnome 3 I think XFCE is going to explode in popularity.
