And I didn't need a kernerl coder to tell me that. The Enlightenment guys told the gnome guys a long time ago that they were barking up the wrong tree. I knew they were right then (the code would be bloated and the philosophy bastardized) and it's still true today. KDE makes this system usable with more mature software, and more technical choices are available. Truthfully I'd rather run Enlightenment(even more user freedom), but the E repo for FC5 doesn't seem to work. Even if I was running E, all my apps except for evolution would *still* be KDE.
