I agree that KDE should be dropped, while keeping all the necessary libraries for running KDE applications. What refers to new icons, I like them better than GNOME or KDE icons. There are some important features that have to be ported over to GNOME before dropping KDE. One of them is the possibility of seamlessly accessing files via sftp protocol by using sftp:// type of URLs. >From: "Epps, Aaron M." <Epps.Aaron@mayo.edu> >Reply-To: limbo-list@redhat.com >To: "'Limbo-List@RedHat.com'" <Limbo-List@redhat.com> >Subject: Gnome Desktop Only >Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 15:44:34 -0500 > > I've got the agree with the one Desktop approach.
