I find that as Gnome improves it is less able to run under KDE. I was using evolution
and galeon and did a redcarpet upgrade and they were both kaput. After 43 years in
this business I am again learning that small individual apps doing a specific job are
better than one app trying to do everything. But I really did like Galeon.
