Yes, and jsut the wrench seems just as intuitive. And definitely less crowded.
Two elements are not more than two elements...
LOL. Logic is not for everyone ;-)
what is the difference between kviewshell and okular and why do we need two applications?
You can read the responses to a similar question on last weeks Commit-Digest.

KViewShell is much older than Okular and is based on KDVI, while Okular was started as a SoC project last year and was based on KPDF. From what I can tell the pros of each of the apps seem to be that KViewShell is much more mature, and Okular has a much cooler name (while still somewhat saying what it does).
Cool, just rename KViewShell to Okular and have this issue solved :-)
Thanks for your answers. Seems like kviewshell needs a new name, a nice homepage, regular releases and some promotion. ;-) Should not be that much of a problem, compared to the programming work that's already been done.
Absolutely, but also persuade Albert to combine efforts.
If KDE4 removes DCOP in favor of DBUS, what's up with Joris Guisson commit of /trunk/extragear/network/ktorrent which "Added Adam Forsyth's patch which expands the DCOP interface significantly" ?
Just armchair curiosity. The Flake and DBUS and QT4-ification and continuous Amarok improvement all sounds great!
well, ktorrent is not part of any kde package.
And since kde4 is not due until somewhere 2007, ktorrent can use the benefits of DCOP for more then a year, before having to port it to KDE4 and DBUS
Thanks. I thought a check-in in /trunk implied KDE4, but I guess it's only certain packages.
Correct, besides the default kde modules there are the modules extragear-*, playground-*, kdereview, kdenonbeta, koffice kdekiosk and others.
Software in these modules have their own relase cycle and decide for them self on which kde-version they will depend.
So for ktorrent, the version in branch/stable is the current release, and the version in /trunk is the development for the next release of the application (which will probably get released in a few days/weeks; after that the code moves to branches/stable and the next version will be developed in trunk)

Why does kde4 have to compete with Vista?
Besides, Vista is more then 3 years over due, so it probably should have competed with kde3, not kde4
Currently KDE 4's estimated release date is pretty close to Vista's current 'release date' (assuming its not moved back for the 100th time).
