This was before you joined Debian.  According to my memory this happened
around the time JFL sent 2.5,-- per CD to KDE and 2.5,-- per CD to Debian
and Debian had to decide what to do with the money.  As KDE didn't want
to support/use Harmony the money was spent for Gnome - a fact of which
some KDE people were very angry about.
