Hmm, I don't get it. I also like the look and feel of my KDE desktop, but I think that xawtv fits in perfectly. In fact, I've tried both kwintv and zapping (GNOME tv application) and was disappointed by the interface. I've noticed that I don't really like any menus and toolbars and such for my tv application. With xawtv, I get a window with the tv image and once I get the remote working (I'm missing the infrared connector cable), it's exactly like a tv set. Which is exactly what I want! So xawtv is not only adequate, it's perfect! But then again, tastes differ, so it's no point arguing. :) Ciao, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
