Ubuntu 9.10 seems to handle this quite well. I have had KDE desktop installed on Ubuntu. Upon each log-in, it allows you to set which desktop environment (DE) you want to log into or go straight to the previous DE used if no setting is changed.

On the good side, Gnome seems to have installed some new apps (which is great) but I can't find much settings to tweak in Gnome like I can with KDE. Gnome seems to have a better way of arranging things three different categories instead of a start menu (which seems much neater but I still find it a bit awkward to use).
That's is also my first impression of the two DE's, but I'll explore them more on the latest release of Ubuntu 9.10.
