Re: Just give me a break.

Well, OOo is currently necessary. It more or less imports and exports most MS Office files without problems, it has a lot of features, it doesn't crash.
Big downside: slow and huge.
Gecko, well, I don't know, KHTML is cool.
DBUS: this has the potential to become really cool. It doesn't come from GNOME. It doesn't even link to glib. It will make KDE startup faster (since it's already running at that time and doesn't have to be started like dcopserver). Kernel messages (e.g. hotplugging) might come via DBUS. We will be able to talk to KDE and Gnome and <you name it> apps via DBUS.

Bye
Alex

What do you mean it doesn't have to be started? As far as I know a DBUS server is started for each user, in addition to the system DBUS server.

I guess it will be started by default when the user logs in, so it's already there when the KDE startup starts. Or if you are running a gnome desktop and start a KDE app then it will be already running.
