We certainly could. One thing I've learned from my macbook is that toolbars really should have the absolute minimum of items (and KDE is a *terrible* example). > Second question is about KDE4.

I assume you mean 'leaves beta' by 'is out', so I would say beta (even though I've repeatedly said it wouldn't be worth bothering with this until KDE4 has reached mainstream status), for several reasons : - it would probably be detrimental to us if we lag behind KDE4 too much - some of the most significant overhauls we intend to do (essentially, getting rid of the QCanvas) would be rendered obsolete by Qt4. And actually, given the improvements of QGraphicsView over QCanvas, turning the notation and matrix view into plain widgets could very well be a waste of time after all. But it's too early to say, I've only started to look at QGraphicsView today. -- Guillaume. http://telegraph-road.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
