Thus far I have seen no compelling reason to go back to KDE or its utilities like kmail. The folks developing KDE have failed to note a classic virtue of *nix, that of separating functions into discrete programs. Another permanent casualty of the move from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4 was the excellent web design tool Quanta Plus. It has been replaced by a general purpose IDE given the same name of Quanta Plus. I won't even try to use it. And kpdf has been replaced by okular, with some lost functionality. I alternate using okular with the antique xpdf or even gv. Happily XFCE and Claws Mail work just fine on e.g. Ubuntu. as well as on Slackware etc. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
