To be honest I don't think k-c-d is the proper place to decide between the=

26 letters in the alphabet and last I counted [1] 19 are in use by KDE=20

for our major apps (ones with lots of actions, like Krita or KDevelop, even=

wondering how many letters of the alphabet we actually have left in KDE4 by=
