yes, BADLY compiled and BUGGY. Here's why.

Yes, badly compiled and buggy indeed. Horribly buggy. Want to see proof? Go here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54220

This is a bug renders most european keyboards UNUSABLE. If you use RedHat with KDE, you'd better not try to use deadkeys or writing in Spanish, Italian, French, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, and the like. This bug have been present in pre-7.2 RawHide, then got into 7.2, and got through an errata that updated KDE to 2.2.2, to no avail. IT IS STILL OPEN. Red Hat is denying us something as simple and essential as the ability to write our own language.

That is why Moritz' criticism of RedHat releases of KDE as buggy and badly compiled are right on target. It is just too obvious that KDE support in Red Hat is just laughable.

BTW, I am part of the KDE 3.0 Spanish translation effort. Needless to say, this bug has made my KBabel experience far more "pleasant".

PLEASE RED HAT, GET A CLUE!
