Probably not a bad idea, but lets check with a couple of people there to see 
what their reaction to such is.  It may be that Redhat doesn't really want to 
come off as supporting KDE overtly.  Let's also wait until the final 
version.  :-)

Don't know -- and don't care really.

These are pretty subjective and I don't think it's really up to us on that 
one.  Since well, as you can see our default is a bit ugly at the moment, I 
don't think it makes much sense for us to lecture them on aesthetics.  I 
think it's fair to say that they're not trying to make it ugly...  ;-)

The transparent konsole was from me -- mostly just showing the background.  
Other than that all was default.

Ah, another good catch and a reasonable candidate for the "preferred apps" 
thing.

I'll try to catch one of their guys on IRC tomorrow and mention some of this 
stuff.
