That said it seems to me that maybe you should consider cross-posting this to Gentoo-users as I expect there are a lot of KDE-3 users there that aren't reading this list. You might consider a more concise version of this if you do. you have a lot to say on a subject that is clearly important to you. However many folks might not be willing to dig in as deeply on first reading as your first message here requires. Cheers, Mark
