I'd go along with that. I know this may be somewhat heretical, but I use KDE because I like the GUI, not because I like most of the specific apps. I don't use Kmail and friends, or Kwallet, or the media player or probably a bunch of other stuff. I use Evolution for mail, Chrome and Firefox for browsing, VLC for media playing, qBittorrent for torrents etc. I do use Konsole and Dolphin but could get by without them. Digikam is very good but it would still be good running under another DE. I can't even remember the last time I used Konqueror but it's many years ago. I do understand about the KIO stuff but I don't miss it. And I absolutely do *not* understand Activities. I know what they are, I just don't see the point of them if I already have multiple virtual desktops. However I don't want to get too OT. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
