I'm never opposed to anyone spending their time on alternative solutions if that is what they wanted to do. I would have expected something BETTER THAN what whey were trying to replace to come out of such a project, but in every case, with the possible exception of Evolution, everything out of the Gnome project is patently and obviously inferior to KDE in my opinion. Was it devicive? Probably, but only due to the way they went about it. They never were about creating anything better, more imaginative or extensible. It was always ONLY about snubbing Trolltech. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
