Re: Shawn Gordon answers all the questions :)

I thihk Shawn's point was misunderstood...
The point is simple - no one installs KDE just to run for example Konsole, or kate, or kvim.
I'm not making it up - go see people complain why when they want to run Konqueror - it loads the memory with all the services - it is because Konqueror needs every one of them - so it loads them - and people complain about it..
Lets be realistic on a specific part - if you use Konqueror, konsole and kmail, then there is no point of running Window Maker or gnome as your primary Window management - does it?

Yes, you are wrong. Couple of my friends do just that. They download KDE so they can use konqueror and kmail. Actually, for one of them Kmail was THE reason to leave Windows.
They prefer iceWM as window manager and they are not ready to give it up just because they like some KDE programs. They also don't feel the need for other things like kicker.
I don't know what Shawn's point was, but I know what mine is. You have all kinds of people who use software for all kinds of things in all kinds of ways. We might guess what majority of them likes, but we certainly can't say what no one does.

You are right about it - but I was talking about the majority ones..
Back at my previous job 2 years ago - I wish I had a program like Konsole under windows...
