No intelligent answer elsewhere on this fork.
No answer at all.
Here showeth the subtle value of humour..

yeah I know, I never could be bothered, just ran konsole instead.

It really is hard to know what it is you have against kde and qt.
I can understand a preference for either gnome or KDE - that's just human
nature - but qt? I shudder to think how many products would be off limits
if I shunned qt!
Many, many hundreds - picking a number out of the hair roots.
The point about Qt is that it enables one to build GUI apps which are portable
over all machines and operating systems which run the X-11 windowing system
plus M/S Windows. On top of that there is the very nice Qt-Designer. So one
can develop a fully portable product which can run on all the small, and not
so small, computers available today. It's available gratis for Free and Open
projects too,

You edited out my ";-)" joke indicator, and ignored my acknowledgment of
being a happy Qt user? - Why?
Spin (dishonest misrepresentation) I read.
- Why?..
What this thread fork has proven is the strong connection between
Qt-exponents 'then' (<= June 1998, when it was non-free) and
Qt-exponents now.[1] And that is, the low moral ground.[2]
These guys have a conscience, which is so near the surface they run
around with shields_on_full. - So quick to feign grievance, they are
aggressive about it. Defensive to a fault, of a culture they'd claim to own.
- Definitely not the full story on 'free unix'. A striking veracity deficit.
