I actually don't like this - just as I don't like the "kde" and "gnome"
package sections.
The users should have equal access to good programs.
Most people (no matter what desktop they are using) thinks that
- amarok is better than the gnome equivalent (rythmbox?)
- gimp is better than the kde equivalent (released versions of krita)
- kontact and evolution - fits different to different people
At least, the KDE section seems to be a nice dumping ground for anything
that links against kdelibs - and in some cases just Qt.

And that's my crabbing done for the day. Got it out of the way early,
now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or
strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore
