KDE is the most advanced desktop I've used (that doesn't include vista's 'new' desktop). The desktop that ships with OSX may come close to KDE for features but it is styled to the point of annoyance both because the UI and because the theme is inextricably welded onto the distro just like windows. Each major release of KDE3 has introduced many amazing new features and all of that happened in the last 4 years, and KDE4 promises to be even more amazing, who cares what their schedule is. The one great blight of KDE also happens to be related to its strengths and that is that kcontrol is the most nested widget-laden application in the history of the world. I've actually spent hours scouring for the one elusive checkbox only to find it days later after I had long given up. For simplicity of UI gconf-editor is much nicer even though it's not the 'official' way to edit gconf-keys. Justin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
