Can we please kill this thread? Right about now?

This has been a fruitless discussion. Nothing has changed in the KDE 
policies:

1) KDE libraries are written in C++

2) core KDE applications are written in C++

3) any other KDE application can be written in any language of the 
author's preference.

There is a C# binding for both Qt and KDE libraries. There's nothing 
stopping people from writing applications using that. And those who don't 
want said applications are also free not to use them (see point #2 above).

This has nothing to do with Microsoft, patents, standards, or Novell.
