I disagree. These are not the basic functional requirements of a windowing system. They are extras, just like a word processor or an image manipulation application is extra.

Fortunately KDE is not a windowing system, but a desktop environment, and they might very well be basic functional requirements of a desktop environment for some users.

That's what I actually wanted to say. This board lacks an edit post feature :D Of course KDE is a desktop environment and a variety of applications are supposed to be integrated with it. This doesn't mean it doesn't consist of major and minor components. However, in a distributed development model such as the one deployed by the free software community, putting priorities in every task is a bit hard since developers are not paid workers, but hobbyists. That's why I'm not expecting or demanding things, just pointing out what strikes me as odd :)

Doing what you want is far from being odd. Sharing it with others appreciating and using it is very even.
