I think Qt is one of the fastest toolkits!

Do you suffer from depressions?? Or why do you only mention negative arguments
(although you can't document that they are right!!!!) If KDE is such a bad
desktop in your opinion (AFAIK you said the same about GNOME and WIN), why do
you use it and 'waste your time' for it? Use another (in your opinion) better
desktop (is there existion a desktop, which is not bad, slow and big in your
opinion?)

Anyway, I think this is the wrong place for these destructive critics, and it's
also the wrong place for this discussion. There is an own ML for license related
topics.

Ciao, Reggie
