KDE isn't a "visual-oriented project"?  Really?  I wonder what the heck
I've been using all these months then.  I *thought* I was using and
developing in KDE... but my desktop looks damn fine -- much much more
visually appealing then GNOME or UDE.  Apparently somebody snuck some
other desktop environment on my computers and never told me!!

So now I gotta figure out just what KDE is if kwm, kbgndwm, konsole, and
the of the rest of the "visual" stuff aren't included... hmmm...
