Do you really think it's going to benefit them? I'm not a developer due to a lack of time learning Qt/C++, although I do help with bits like koffice.org, so I would certainly class my self as a user. Even if Pixie is available elsewhere from KDE (like and independent CVS), I'm probably wouldn't bother using it. I'm also wouldn't bother testing it to report bugs, etc. Same goes for the styles -- what about those running kdelibs CVS who updated and discovered the styles weren't available, and they would need to be obtained elsewhere? I have no intention of getting involved in any flame war, and I hope I have not caused any offence, but that's just my £0.02. -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, chrish@gmx.co.uk Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk PGP Key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/files/pgp.txt >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
