Oh, I didn't notice that... Well, if the KDE folks feel its worth to have a KIMP, they can of course code one. However I think it would be a waste of time and effort. People will want to have one common GIMP UI. If there's something we can do to integrate GIMP better with KDE, I'd love to hear about it. Salut, Sven
