That's right. But, at the same time, many CSS, DOM and JavaScript fixes (KHTML, KJS) are not incorporated into KDE 2.2 branch - already for 2-3 months. So, frankly speaking, KDE2 branch was frozen around 3 months ago... By the time LM 8.2 hitted shelves (add 1-2 more months), KDE2 will be completely out of date. Yes, it's still good to have it as a backup solution. But KDE3 (latest beta/CVS) should be included into LM 8.2. That's my opinion :-) -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
