Gnome itself is an offense to all principles of good user interface design. The stuff spewing out of Redmond is better than Gnome. KDE 3.5 is probably the high point for Linux user interface. 4.x hasn't been very good so far. KDE 4 has the interesting concept of an application bundle, which is to package a full application along with libraries together (kind of like the OS X .app paradigm). IMHO, this solves a major pain in Linux desktop computing: when I install something, generally it smears stuff all over /usr, making it nearly impossible for me to delete or upgrade without the package manager. (A major reason why I put all custom installed stuff in /opt). With a .app, you could even keep multiple versions of the same application installed at the same time. In your user directory even (no need to become root). I hope KDE 4 gets better, but the last time I used it... rubbish. Buggy, unstable, inconsistent, total rubbish. -- Registered Linux Addict #431495 For Faith and Family! | John 3:16! http://www.fsdev.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
