Well, I didn't know about Trysil as I somehow missed it, but yes, I know
:-) But that's not the point here. We want to make KDE enterprise-ready.
That's the point. We have to be *better* than windows, not only cheaper
:)  This is a part where I thought the quality of GUI layout is
obviously not consistent and I try to fix it. When I'm finished, *then*
I will compare it with the crap that we shipped and can say that we
didn't only fix the crap but made it better than windows as a whole. :-)
