I'd argue that being KDE centric is a bad idea. I use KDE every day. But I don't see the need to use a larger toolkit just to write a configuration tool. Mandrake started out as a KDE version of RedHat. But that doesn't mean we need to limit ourselves to that. Gnome is used be a large portion of the users. There's no reason to require them to install something they wouldn't otherwise need. Finally making that change would increase the size of the minimal install again which I'm firmly opposed to without a good reason. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
