Whats the dependency hell? If you use Yast on Suse to install a package (Yast 
have a very large repository, not so big than Debian, but is big enough) he 
calculates all the dependencys, download them and install them. Like Debian, 
but ina  graphical window that even my mother can operate. I use Mandriva, 
which have the same funcionalities, but the repository is bigger than Suse.
And I didnt understood what you said about "hidden parts", both distros are 
completely open source.

Tha XFCE 4.2 is not a good example. XKCE 4.0 was really nice, but 4,2 is as 
heavy as KDE...
