That is both delusional and flat-out wrong. While I have been a happy KDE user for some time, I'll be the first to tell you that it has problems. For instance, Konqueror is almost completely unusable on Alpha because it frequently dies with SIGFPE and draws little black boxes instead of text on a number of webpages. That is not a bash against KDE; they probably do not have a large number of Alpha testers. Also, I find your argument that breaking desktops is somehow better than breaking servers to be rather naive. While the effects of breaking servers can likely be felt farther, tne pain of breaking desktops is no less when you consider how many more desktops we're talking about here. -- John
