Re: kde or gnome?
Just a small clarification sought :
What exactly is meant by Gnome or KDE compliance ?
Is it the capability of running Gnome or KDE apps ?
I'm on fvwm2 and blackbox. I've both qt (for KDE) and
necessary libs for running gnome apps installed. I am
able to run kmail, kedit (and other kde packages),
gedit, gxedit, balsa etc. (gnome apps) on both these
window managers.
I thought all window managers would, if the necessary
libs are installed. I notice here confirmation of the
same with sawfish and icewm.
Am I wrong somewhere and there is more to it ?
