Re: KDE
by Jim Cornette on Tuesday 06/Jun/2006, @20:51

KDE is not much different in appearance since the BlueCurve move which was implemented awhile back. I see little difference between the initial look but see many differences in configuration for the desktops. The QT issue from earlier days does make one weary regarding depending on one desktop alone and increasing its user base. My reluctance is rather in how I percieve KDE and its functionality and feel.
If Red Hat discourages or encourages KDE usage is not known by me. I see both choices given updates frequently.

Regarding support, both Core and Extras packages use the same bugzilla reporting site. If it is busted, reports to bugzilla should be resolved upstream or downstream.

I am tiring of GNOME "simplification" but am not compelled to switch to KDE because of it. Currently, I am using xfce as a desktop. Next session will be another choice, GNOME is my highly used choice.

Regarding Rex and what he can add to KDE development/maintenence for Fedora, the influence and dediction to work in both directions with KDE development and integration with Fedora should be a highly successful venture.
