err, we don't prefer kde or gnome, all our stuff are made to works with both (unified menu through wm methods, common desktop icons, ...) as for our toos, they're not written for kde; in fact, they use gtk+ since: - libgtk+ is small (1.5Mb) while libqt is 6.6Mb - libgtk+ doesn't means have gnome libs installed which is not true for libqt - there's still no decent perl-Qt binding (but david faure is working on it) - we (mandrake developers) have better knowledge of gtk+ than qt - we already have a code base extending perl-Gtk to get a usable toolkit (my_gtk/ugtk) - we already have a code base providing abstraction in the config tools for implementation into Gtk, Newt and stdio (interactive) the rest of your post had have bad side effects on our ego :-)
