No, not really. This is not meant to be flame bait !!! In fact it makes Gnome 
rather more useable than KDE. There are still plenty of Motif / Lesstif apps. 
out there. The abiltiy to d & d files onto Netscape, Acrobat and, who knows, 
maybe even Continuus, is usefull. I realise there are KDE equivelant apps., 
but I still consider these older apps. to be currently better than the 
alternatives !
