Well, it's true that since CeBit2000 is in German, it
gives Suse an advantage to market KDE over RedHat and
Gnome.
But I think that the best presentation/publicity is
the honest one made by it's developers/users. Here in
Portugal, in Inforpor expo, GNU/Linux was represented
almost totally by volunteers. In the pavilion I was, I
brought my laptop with Gnome, which increased it's
visibility a bit more(although about 70% of GNU/Linux
computers had KDE).
People who use and enjoy Gnome could be more active in
their country, and take the effort of doing
presentations(yes, even if only a couple of people are
watching you:)) and generally showing Gnome to people.

Ah, but does it look cool like Gnome does?:)
