Sounds kindof cool.
I'd like to give LxQt a whirl but see that they only have packages from their 0.9 release available for Jessie. Perhaps 0.10 relies on a newer Qt than supported by Jessie. I guess I could try building it locally but that can be a pain for all the other things a desktop links to. I think Qt should have a brighter future for a universal toolkit since it's available on the major platforms. It has good language bindings and doesn't seem to be boxing itself into the corner of only existing primarily to support a single desktop environment as GNOME seems to be intending with GTK+3. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
