Okay, you like the look of Qt - I don't. Now what? I can't stand how Qt
looks, and please don't tell me to piss off - I don't like this either! Gtk
is more flexible and the themes look nicer.

I disagree. All the Mandrake tools should be named DrakeXY IMHO. This
would make very clear that this is a Mandrake tool, and would also allow

opinions on others. Sorry to say this, but I don't know - somehow all

now: For this reason, it seems like you're a 12 year old who doesn't know
how to write (somewhat) correctly. Again: Don't take it personally, it's
not meant that way.

Beta 2, and I doubt that the Mandrake guys will do such a drastic move at
