Both. :-) 1. My compiled software is exclusively C, not C++ or anything else. 2. KMail was the only KDE app that I really liked - KDevelop stinks for C and/or large projects. (See Debian bug #323090) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323090 KMail has now got too fussy for it's own good and I don't like all the fluff (a common criticism of all things KDE). 3. Even my embedded code revolves around the Gnome Palmtop Environment, not Opie (from KDE). 4. I've found sufficient extensions and themes for FireFox and TBird to get the functionality I need with none of the fluff. 5. Functionality is more important than eye-candy. Gnome is the natural home for those of a similar disposition. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEWR9OiAEJSii8s+MRAgWVAKCKm+ZwjM4WanqXTVJrAJvo7jlCUQCgsDSt s0Je8a09RJ4NI/F5plH+z/w= =bmzV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
