IMO users restricted to these systems - if required to look at / modify the kernel configuration can use one of the other frontends. In other words - I do not think we shall stick to the old gtk / qt versions due to this. > > I do not know if it was on purpose to keep all flavours except lxdialog in one single directory, > > Historical artifact, I think... :-( lxdialog was one a separate binary - later we did a very rough conversion so it is now a single binary. But there are many left-overs from when it was separated.
