Something you may or may not be aware of. It means accepting patches for these "platforms other than Linux", and when Linux and these other platforms disagree, or are incompatible, trying to find, and being open to, an implementation which works on either, without the need for additional source code patches. This would greatly reduce the amount of source code patches necessary to build KDE on other platforms. I think you know what platforms i am referring to. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman 'Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition' steleman@nyc.rr.com -Monty Python
