I have since posting the above query, found that the default interface
for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is apparently GNOME; that the "k" in "Debian
GNU/kFreeBSD", is "k" for kernel, and, not "k" for KDE, as in koffice,
kpdf, kftpgrabber, etc, etc.

The use of the "k" in "Debian GNU/kFreeBSD", appears to be simply an
unfortunate choice, that is confusing.
