The comments on slashdot are a very unreliable source of information. One of the authors of KWM (KDE's Window Manager) commented on the kde-list on this issue. Basically KWM supports most of the hints listed in the GNOME spec, for details please look up the 'kde' list-archive at lists.kde.org. Inspired by the Gnome Spec, one of the KDE-developers is working hard to get a KDE Window Mangager spec out as well. Although the two specs are different in some areas, it should not be too hard to make a window-manager which is both Gnome- and KDE-aware. I expect that the most popular WMs will have support for both in the not so far future. Cheers, Waldo Bastian [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Linux, The Choice Of A GNU Generation.
