I was not a big fan of "lxqt" before (yep, Luquor was my favourite ;)) but now I think it works. Qt is clear, LX sounds "arcane" mysteriously. It can mean many things if you forget X11 and we can play with its usage. Examples: - linux - luxury - 60 (roman numbers) - lower extremity - lighting or light (in theatre/movie/music industry) - local expression (math) - Lisbon (Portugal abbrevation, quite fine place for potential meeting ;)) - lux (SI unit) - "less extras" + many medical terms on the other side - laxative :D and, of course, the typography potential of LXQt is quite great. my 2c - I'd keep it. p. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSlEM0AAoJEC8yRjM4uE2tQ+gH/02/peVOP3qqp9uu25YAJ6Q0 bXuNI0gJifOFujPkCJmCtFr5OUsEJDilG52ZSAGslEr9bQlqd9eFSJbqlhVdM6vz 2hfCKkTnLOIp20/9YS8yqD3yw6Hcvs8Sd3UmMdRL8ulqq8h/4pfaWon0x2Z5RMyV dr/dh3fNztG62RwIGWAlPSwVO2QKixuG2QlITtxgOkxH8WITwM9TBaOVzvyMF6OJ 9fRU0CbEJASZmxKEU5uMhTcuaUixqvhM7e0iwgSuFdWA78H4aYQoJErchvPqsdok YWGXpe9hNNtE1kbxyiNhRbMP30XgMJudy/iWQ5m3M0VDVvoKpYA5ufylY1M07BQ= =FfTb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
