This is particularly un-appetizing to those of who have built kde using konstruct and had the result work virtually flawlessly as I have. With that "use gnome" attitude having been so prevalent historicly, can you blame a few of us for running out of patience? I think not. Sometimes its the squeaky wheel that gets greased you know. So based on that theory, we do tend squeak a bit from time to time. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
