This way we could integrate easily with other applications that are using dbus and take advantage of the system. For the rest I am also completely on your side. Back in the days I was looking for an OS that works without crashing (like it was Windows) and for a desktop that just works. I hate it when I start the PC and instead of accomplishing the task I had in mind, I had to fix this or that, because it was working yesterday and no today. Also the mentioned attitude of KDE 4 developers - it is FOS, so if it works it works, otherwise it may work again at some indefinite point of time in the future ... There are some issues with TDE on laptops (networking etc). There is missing SIM card support. Clearly because those things are too modern and TDE is laking the manpower to develop new applications. But on the PC as you mentioned it is tiny and shiny. You start it, you do your work and it does never let you down. This has been my life for the past 15+ years - first with KDE3 and later with TDE. I am just wondering how many people worldwide are using TDE. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
