If you want to adapt the DE to your needs (as opposed to adapting yourself to a new DE), KDE seems to be the best possible choice.
The first time I used XFCE after installing it, my desktop looked almost exactly the same way it had under Gnome 2. My wallpaper was the same, my panel was where I wanted it, with most of the icons I wanted right where they'd always been (I'd love to get rid of the Trash icon and Show Desktop icon, but aside from that, it's almost exactly the same.) and so on. Almost no learning curve. That's why I recommend it. Can KDE do the same?
If I understand you can remove the trash icon, etc. via Settings > Desktop > Icons
You will probably want to keep Removable Devices though.
I have used XFCE for a long time, before that Window Maker. Gnome only to get back to familiar territory after a new install in the past. Now I can choose XFCE and that works for me with my configuration. My desktops are identical on both computers in use.
