You can install and use KDE software in gnome without worrying about the issues about it - the package manager will handle getting the dependencies and the application will load all the required libraries itself. The explanations were to let you know of the possible downsides to this: the application will look different to the gnome ones and using it will use a larger amount of memory than the same functionality in a gnome app. The memory usage isn't likely to be a problem unless you're normally short of memory. ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ormiret.com Cynicism is an unpleasant way of speaking the truth. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
