My history is Mac --> Windows 3.1 till 2000 --> KDE 3.5 --> GNOME. And yes, I try KDE from time to time. Not my cup of tea, but it's fine.
I prefer GNOME but I would never, NEVER have gotten it in my head that KDE was 'undeservedly' treated as an equal to my preferred DE because _my_ preferred DE isn't defaulted. That's a way of thinking that I cannot condone; if find it downright indecent. But well, all of us GNOMErs respect the decision to default KDE for 11.2; as dubious as the decision-making process might have been,
but I for one _demand_ that this decision be revisited for 11.3.
I what light, that the more likely choice, normally that which would be choosen the most often, should not be default or .... I fail to see a problem and not because I use kde. I am perfectly able to choose gnome or xfce4 should I fancy, and I frequently do use xfce4 rather than *any* of the others. But I do see reason that xfce4 "should not" be selected to be the default. I was present during the wonderment of the kde users when it was announced that Novell had chosen gnome for the desktop for the sponsored editions and witnessed the dismay and concern that kde would be dropped. I believe that, perhaps, you are feeling that same dismay? Time has shown that kde has *not* been orphaned and the same will prevail for gnome. The two are much too popular to dissappear. But lets put aside our concerns and accept that we will move forward *together* :^) gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
