I think they had to pick something and at the time KDE was not a viable option due to the whole QT library copyright thing. I have listened to their reasoning for making everything look the same and it makes a whole lot of sense. Make it simple as possible for the new user and realize that no matter what you do you will never make the experienced users completely happy. They will customize their desktops themselves anyway. Sounds like a good plan to me. > In my completely personal opinion, I don't understand the whole > GNOME vs KDE thing. They are so much alike it's silly. The only > differences between them are so trivial it's ridicules. Nor do I. If I could get Gnome to operate like I want it to I would switch to it instantly just because Gnome is what Red Hat supports (Given no particular preference I tend to choose what Red Hat supports.) The only reason I still use KDE is because I can use <ctrl Fx> keystrokes to switch between desk tops. I cannot for the life of me get it to work properly with Gnome. I typically keep 20-30 xterms open and eack desktop has the xterms for a different machine. Switching between the desktops under gnome requires that I press the function key twice to have the switch occur. Under KDE it just works. Something is trapping my first keypress but I sure cannot figure out what. I do notice that If I just press and release the <ctrl> key I get a diamond on the screen wherever the mouse pointer that explodes and then disappears. Does anyone have a clue wtf that is?? I think that is what is trapping my ctrl key presses. It is only the left <ctrl> key but that is the one I want to use. -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@rogueind.com hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting .... -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
