The trouble I have with KDE is the fact that it's monolithic. If I wanted to use a particular program out of KDE - the KDE hex reader for example - then that means I have to compile kdebase, kdelibs, and qt just for a single program. Therefore anything designed for KDE is instantly worthless outside of it unless you happen to have KDE - which is usually fine for most distros as they usually do have it. I'm perfectly happy with Blackbox right now; I program a few keyboard shortcuts with bbkeys, such as switching desktops, changing window sizes, opening up a terminal, etc, and that's good enough for me. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
