->Absolutely no disagreement,

->I expect the people you are about to attack to start nit-picking on
->details if they can find anything "semi-true" in "open letter" like
->Rey's.
I know...and I sometime over react..I guess it's the pent up
frustrations of an ex-OS/2 user in me that just gets really pissed off
that I have found another environment that I like and this MS bullshit
starts again. OS/2 users didn't have the mass backing that Linux
enjoys..and I just want people to stick together so that we don't have
this unsupported ( no games..commercial apps..etc..etc) shit happen to
yet another environment that is way better then any MS crap. Make sense?
->[1] konqueror should learn to appear as NS, IE or Mozilla and this
->particular problem is gone.
It use to be able to have the user agent hardcoded into it so it would
say it was IE 5.X or Netscape 4.X ... whatever the user wanted..but the
KDE guys felt it would be better to put it as a site by site user
string. Which A. Doesn't work and hasn't since they switched. B. Doesn't
matter if the user wants one damn string vs. one for each site. Why
can't it do both. I have talked at length with Waldo Bastian about
it..and he said it was discussed for a while on the KDE lists. Most
developers have this mistaken notion that Web Developers give a shite
about supporting anyting but IE ...and they often bitch about supporting
Netscape. Does anyone thing they will even know what Konqueror is
9-10 times..hell no. And I can never get the user agent to change what it
sends out. I have specified a string for different sites...and when I
get rejected..it says that Konqueror 5 is not supported.
I think that it would be a good thing to let the KDE developers know
that we want the hardcode feature back..I don't care if in webstatics it
says I was a Windows 2000 user of IE...I just want to view websites.
