I don't disagree that the current team is doing a good job but there isn't enough resources to handle everything correctly and the current status is far from perfect. There are a number of things currently lacking compared to the GNOME experience driven by GNOME developers within Fedora: * Proper integration of NetworkManager. KDE currently is using NetworkManager-gnome which doesn't integrate well with KDE * KPackageKit doesn't do mime, font or codec integration like gpk-application does and is generally in a more broken state. Clicking on a downloaded RPM used to fail in Fedora 11 GA. No support for creating service packs either in KPackageKit * For good codec integration, you need gstreamer to be the default. Phonon gstreamer backend doesn't seem to be as mature as the Xine backend yet. * Solid needs a proper DeviceKit backend and that needs to be followed up with integration of libatasmart et all. * GDM integrates better with Plymouth via plymouth-gdm-hooks package * No support for fingerprint readers in KDM This is not a comprehensive list. Merely things I can think of, top of my head. Rahul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
