Well, KDE has kmilo, which had some special keys supported for IBM laptops, so there is a difference in the implementation. Actually, in KDE there is no support for this HAL stuff, which will be changed for edgy (I hope). > SD card support is, again, entirely independent of the desktop > environment used.

Well, yes, the underlaying technology is the same, but the implementation is different. And this has to be tested, if or if not the underlaying technology is working on all different desktop flavours, not just one. I think this has to be handled by the quality assurance crew, who should focus on those "little" things.
