KDE vs. Gnome (Questions, not a Troll)

[Ed Sutherland]

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, you suggest by changing my 
KDE sound to ALSA (where is this found on KDE?) my audio cds should 
play? Also, I do like a clean desktop, but I didn't see an easier way to 
move a file from the desktop to my home directory. If there was a "Move 
to..." command that included a directory, that would be a better 
solution, also, (Is there a way of adding new destinations to the "Move 
to..." context-menu?) Thanks.
