Now I see the point. Geramik is trying to do what Bluecurve did, right? If this is so, then the current changes are not enough. You have to persuade Mandrake developers to use G/Keramik to replace the default mdk theme, and adopt G/Keramik as the default instead. In additional to this, you also need to get the GNOME/KDE behavior sync'ed. To sum up, Mandrake have to follow RedHat's decision to make GNOME/KDE similar enough. If the above is not achieved, Geramik will just be a normal theme, nothing more, nothing less (quoted). Having two desktops looking similar but behave differently is worse than what we currently have, IMHO. > > Moreover, Gemarik is more than buggy > > Yes, there's only one author, I'm sure he'd appreciate > help.
