I'm a Gnome user as well.  It in no way impacts my ability to install
and use other programs.  Even ones whos name starts with a k.

I just 'opened' a PDF in KWord, and KWord appears to import it into a
new KWord doc.  I'm not a fan of KWord, and it makes a mess out of the
document during the import, but it does work, and perhaps a little
better than just copying and pasting from evince.  It makes a mess out
of whitespace and tables, but it works better than I thought it would.
 That was all on Fedora Rawhide though.  I checked on a SL 4.7
machine, and it didn't have koffice in the repos.  I didn't see it in
Centos 5.2's either, although I'm sure someone's made a package of it
for both, somewhere on the net.
