Heh, again, are you going somewhere with this besides being silly? So, 
what are you trying to tell me that compiling GIMP from sources should 
now be a dependency to build kdepim?

There was nothing of hostility towards GNOME in any of my emails. I know 
personally more GNOME developers  then you probably will ever know in 
your lifetime and respect all of them very much. Don't you dare to 
associate me ever again with any unbiased hostility towards the GNOME 
project.

*plonk*  That is the stupidest thing I've heard in a very long time.

No, it's not, you know that right? libxml has nothing to do with GNOME 
besides the name and fact that its developed by Daniel Veillard who is 
a GNOME developer. It doesn't even depend on Glib. 
You obviously have no clue what this discussion is all about so let me 
straighten it out for you: Reinhold committed a piece of code to one of 
the configure files that broke configure generation in all kdepim 
module. It was a simple mistake, that wasn't visible on any machines 
with GTK+ 1.2 devel packages installed. Reinhold didn't intend to make 
kdepim depend on GTK+ 1.2, it was simply an honest mistake. Everyone 
who didn't have GTK+ 1.2 devel packages installed wasn't able to 
generate configure's globally in kdepim anymore. I was one of those 
people and I fixed it a few minutes later. At this point the discussion 
ended for me and we all started coding on the things we were coding. 
Then you showed up muttering some utter nonsense of how GTK+ is 
required by GIMP and our inability to use KDE SVG if we don't require 
another GUI toolkit. The next time read the whole thread before you'll 
start sending emails and in the mean time I'm done with this thread.
