Most of my followers just want linux (naturarrly this means Gentoo for me) to do mundane management tasks for all sorts of little embedded devices. Kinda like SCADA for controls, only extended to usb and video and networked devices (avahi/zeroconf...) Also, I'm looking to deploy video from h.264 based cameras, as the background, whilst various amounts of detail appear on top of the video, about the operations of these aforementioned voice controlled devices. QT4 is a HUGE enabler for this sort of thing. > KDE-4 is scarcely a year old, it's a marvel that it works at all considering > the deep invasive changes that were necessary. Life is a beach, and then you marry one.... So long story short, for me, looking to the future, I have no other choices but QT4 (now LGPL) and therefore KDE 4 on the desktop.... I feel you pain, but the Long_View has pulled me over to the (dark side) of KDE 4..... hth, James
