The licensing problems are with kdebase which contains some GPL'ed programs for which KDE didn't get authorization to combine with QT. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: alternatives to gnotepad+
I have long used gnotepad+ also, but lately, due to the reasons you have offered, I have used gxedit. It seems to be about at the point of functionality that gnotepad+ used to be when I thought it was so handy. You would have to try it yourself to see if it suited you. Gedit seems like it would be really nice and trim, but I've often had trouble with segfaults etc. while trying to use it. I'll keep trying, but for now I use gxedit. hrm, it's nice and has more (and more useful) features then gnotepad+ but it can't open more then one document at once which is my main requirement. i'll check out gedit as well. thanks though. adam.

There's a plethora of editors out there. Ever tried XEmacs? XEmacs has pull-down menus, so you don't really have to memorize all the key combinations, and most importantly has very nice syntax highlighting features. Nedit is also worth mentioning if you need something simple. I personally like Vim.

XEmacs has pull-down menus, so you don't really have to memorize all the key combinations, and most importantly has very nice syntax highlighting features. emacs is way more then i need. all i want is a simple gui based text editor which will allow me to have more then one file open at a time inside it. emacs is *drastic* overkill for this :) Nedit is also worth mentioning if you need something simple. I personally like Vim. nedit would work but it won't allow multiple files to be open within one window. gnotepad+ and gedit are exactly what i want but buggy enough to not be very annoying to use (and c ain't my forte so i can't use the source unfortunately :-( ). adam.

Re: alternatives to gnotepad+
VIM is pretty easy to use ... and gVIM, the graphical interface to VIM is rather nice looking I think. yeah ... i can do that, but it's not quite what i had in mind. i did however just check the gedit homepage and it turns out that the debian package is quite out of date and that there are a lot of bugs fixed between the debian version and the current version ... so i'm compiling and hopefully if it's stable it will provide what i need. thanks all. adam.
