I do not use any Qt app (Qt not installed on any of my PC's). My XFCE setup is satisfactory as it is. I do use C++-written apps (starting with dear old Groff). No need to modify them, though. But you do not see the point. The cutting point of OM is that I can (rather, could) finely adapt the core phone applications to my many quirks. If I cannot do this, well, no reason to substitute my old palm, which goes on giving me the phone/pim services I need (all this, with a QWERTY keyboard and long battery time). > Refusing to get the phone because you dislike the languages the shipped apps > are written in, not because it prevents anyone from coding in the languages > they prefer or that any of the applications are proprietary is beyond > ridiculous. You appear to have a very low ridiculousness threshold. Carlo -- * Se la Strada e la sua Virtu' non fossero state messe da parte, * K * Carlo E.
