There's Sun, Novell (since they bought Ximian), RedHat, FSF?, and others supporting GNOME, with only SuSE, and a bunch of minor distributions (Mandrake isn't exactly a large distro), and SuSE probably dropping their KDE leaning since being bought out by Novell. What do you think? There's also more stuff going on under GNOME, like bounties (some are 1500$) which will encourage even more developers. And the big killer is commercial developers will not use QT, since it is GPLed, and why pay money (what's the price for commercial license, 400?, 1000?) when you can use GTK?

I don't think it's dead, yet, but it could be hurting. I noticed that Fedora Core 1 did not update the KDE WM theme - but the one included with GNOME was updated.

In addition, GNOME 2.4 got released shortly ago and it rather nice. KDE 3.2 won't be out for a bit, maybe you should wait and see then.
