Well the KDE libraries I use are either things that should be in Qt but aren't (Sonnet, kidletime) or that help integrate with the Linux desktop (knotifications, kwindowsystem). The Linux desktop is a total mess right now when it comes to things like system trays, window state, etc. Things have regressed, now that Gnome 3 and Unity mean desktops don't even all have the same parts. Anyways whenever there's a problem there's an opportunity, I think KF5 is a natural place to house the libraries that make writing Qt software that targets Linux (regardless of WM/DE used) work well. Which is what a lot of KF5 is already about, so, thumbs up, keep it up. :) Ian _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
