When you put it that way, how can one refuse? Maybe it seems corny to say, but every other Linux distribution I've seen typically splits their KDE and GNOME users. I think that your point has merit in that all desktop environments can benefit from the cross-pollination. It would be nice to show others that at least in "OpenSolaris land", the jihad will remain silent and "synergy" (oh my <insert deity here>, I just used a marketing term :)) is expected. Because in the end, the members of the community are what matters not which desktop they're using. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
