then you failied to understand what is been talked about: A file manager and a web browser and a help viewer are three diferent programs. So it should stay, and I realy would like to see khtml in kdenetwork and not kdebaase, if I would like a web browser I would install kdenetwork. In kde3.2 kmail and korganizer will be one software. Again I dont like this, and I like things as thry are now. If I want to look at my meetings I will not open my mail progaram. Anyway, unix was not designed this way, one big program that does all. But several programs which do one small thing good. This movement is beeing copyied from Microsoft Windows. As to what you say: There are no good alternatives so we must use them, freedom is lost again ,since there is one really usable program.
