Why configure KDE with a Gnome app?? That's pollution, for sure. If I
could, I'd remove Gnome. A previous email to this list mentioned that
you couldn't even change your mouse pointer in Gnome. My Gawd! What have

all?? I have many choices of mouse pointers with KDE. Sorry, but that's
the way it is, and why I use it. Ric
