I still maintain that KDE does not force configuration changes on existing systems, ~/.kde4 trumps anything installed into /usr. However, I do agree with you about KDE's leadership and user relations. In many ways they are their own worst enemies. What's the point in writing good software then leaving it with a crap set of defaults so people have to tweak it to make it decent. It's like they want to leave all that mundane stuff to the distros, which doesn't work with Gentoo's policy of sticking close to upstream defaults. > > Like I said, but you seemed to ignore, run Konsole on LXDE to get all > > you need.

Fair enough, that's your choice. Personally, I think that a desktop environment, not necessarily KDE, that provide good interoperation between applications is important.
