Hi all
I had the same problem. I was also using Gnome apps in KDE and vice versa, but after
a few days Gnome did the big crash thing which completely locked up my system (had to
use the dreaded reset button). Because I'm a sucker for punishment, I went back into
Gnome a few more times with the same result each time. I'm not sure what caused it
because I had also tried out Enlightenment and a few others. So I've just uninstalled
and reintalled LM8 and haven't been brave enough to try Gnome again or run the Gnome
apps in KDE.
Can someone please advise whether or not its OK to use Gnome apps in KDE.
Cheers

PS. Sorry if the font is italicised - having just got my new external serial modem
(YAY!! No more booting back into Windows every 10 mins :-)) I'm trying out KMail
and can't seem to get the font thing sorted for replying/composing.
