Yes, some apps, in my case most audio apps, are based on GTK ;). Sure you can use Kate instead of Gedit, but KDE doesn't provide everything ;). I'm testing KDE4 again and you can't compare it to Xfce and LXDE regarding to the needed resources and stability, if you really use the provided resources of your machine. Oh and FWIW I know how to get rid of gvfs, but not how to get rid of KDE's green drive killer, IOW for tuned machines it at least will cause the user a lot of work, by reading and tweaking to use it as a replacement for Xfce and LXDE. GNOME2 in the past was similar to Xfce and LXDE. I agree that KDE4 is better than GNOME3 but users want a successor of GNOME2 and that definitively isn't KDE4. I switched from KDE3 to GNOME2, because KDE4 does cause issues. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
