Intentional. It is meant to replace GNOME 1.x. There are many more KDE people at MDK so they have the time to build it in the /opt directory until it's ready for inclusion in /usr, hence obsoleting kde2. But I have a feeling Frederic is already quite overworked. > If it was intentional, can it > be changed?

I've been using GNOME 2 every since beta 2. Some of the applets don't work and such, but no big deal. The panel and Nautilus have been almost rock solid (and Nautilus is also *much* faster :). -- Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc http://k-lug.org
