I could submit a handbook patch too, but I guess the important thing is to make it known to people that are already using the desktop profile. Still, a small reference can be made to handbook, but just a small one, as people that are going to install KDE or GNOME should refer the relevant installation guides. I don't know, Nightmorph has the final word, so I will wait for instructions. BTW, did anyone test it? -- Theo Chatzimichos (tampakrap) Gentoo KDE/Qt Teams blog.tampakrap.gr
