Some KDE 3.5 installations are used by people that probably would have problems getting Debian installed and would think that "Bugzilla" was a B movie. It would be nice if KDE got input from all it's users. Sometimes it gets 100s of users input from a rant from a single email address (their KDE administrator). <just-kidding>Luckily, these events can be written off as "just one user's opinion". :P The rantor is then summarily dismissed because they can't put in another 40 hours a week fixing the issues, since they are already overworked with the job administering a large KDE 3.5 installation. :P</just kidding> I'm convinced real users exist. I just don't use my computer like them. > developers write what they want > to use, no what *you* want to use. Based on the evidence presented (NB: I have not independently verified it), the developers write what they want and then use something else. You may find that ironic, but that doesn't automatically make it untrue. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
