Each step Novell makes in the direction of Gnomifying the Suse desktop is (at least by the Suse-KDE-community) considered as going on killing KDE.
Ah, I see. Developing new applications for KDE, submitting it to KDE SVN and contributing to KDE upstream development in general is a measure of killing KDE. Makes sense.
Many of us know, that Novell will drop KDE as soon as it can without loosing face.
I wonder where you know that from.
It's just a matter of time. And signs like this decision make even more people belive, that the time is near... So if you want them, not to belive, that Novell will drop KDE, please do not make such bull****-decisions in the future.
If you really take something about "signs", then try to control your phantasy and read the [opensuse-commit] mailing list. During the last days, a new setuid binary has been added to the distribution. I know it because I'm reading the [opensuse-commit] mailing list. Do you know what that means? And do you know why it has been done even though it is per se a really bad thing? Simple answer: In order to give you a KDE updater applet. But you don't seem to be interested in it at all, you're just spreading rumours.
So please tell us, when step 3 will be done so we have time to switch to Kubuntu and help them to become #1 for KDE (a goal defined by Canonical, not by me) as well.
Try to learn the difference between a distributor and an innovator. Canonical, the "#1 for KDE", did not feel the need to create an acceptable KDE frontend for the NetworkManager daemon. Novell did, and Novell paid the bill because it has been created by a paid employee. Canonical compiles and distributes it. But no, you prefer spreading questionable rumours instead of looking at the actual work being done. Because of an icon theme. It's _so_ unfair! But if you really think that it's a good idea, support a pure distributor, you will probably not even notice where the innovations actually come from... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
