In my local group it is sort of KDE is the desktop, we dont use gnome. How about this list? I have lots of reasons to prefer KDE, first of which is excellant library QT. Nothing beats its simplicity and cleanness of API interface, excellant documentation and responsive mailing list. Gnome is just a hack on what was a small toolkit for GIMP.

See, QT [and hence KDE] started support for Indic scripts last month only, before that there was no way [short of ugly IndiX hack] to render them correctly. Gnome's pango did support hindi for a longer time, and http://www.indlinux.org is doing good job translating it too, but still we are not yet in a place where distributions started distributing hindi versions. Now that technology hurdle is taken care of, a lot of translation of documentations, all those howtos, readme-s, tutorials, and the GPL itself ;) is left for us. Hope to see Hindi in Mandrake 9.3 or atleast 10.0 :) - -- Amit Upadhyay Senior Undergraduate Student Department of Mechanical Engg.
