I disagree. I rather have a stable FC5 with an older KDE/GNOME then have an fairly stable that semi-work DE that's broken in 50 different places. As a couple of people (and RH devs) states in the different thread, FC4 is/was a problematic release. Considering this, it's imperative to get a better, stable, FC5 out. (Even if it's not bleeding edge) Anyways, what-ever you decide, please, please, please make sure gnome-pilot is working this time?
