true enough > I don't think that unifying KDE and Gnome would do the trick. how does maintaining a consistent look&feel make it hard on users to get things done? i find it quite the opposite, although i agree with the point that forcing the look on users seems a bit aggressive, be it a unified look or just a look for KDE, for example. but the unifying of the GUIs is something that should come from the _desktop developers themselves_. both Gnome and KDE, and especially us as users, could benefit from unified themes, widgets, styles, and interface consistency. it seems to me like so much double work on parallel KDE/Gnome components is being done on one hand, while the differences between the K and the G become smaller and smaller on the other hand, it's just absurd. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
