One comment I feel the need to respond to is the suggestion that we put things in weird places.
There is a Linux Standard Base, and there is a File Hierarchical Standard adopted and we comply with it. We have had to move many things to do that over the last several distros, but we are there. Not a lot of other distros can claim that. In addition, we use integrated menus so that the desktop you try tomorrow will have a familiar menu arrangement and you don't have to be running KDE to use KMail or Konqueror or GNOME to use GNUCash or Galeon. In this structure we are consistent with Debian and Connectiva, but not the others. Helix Code (Now Ximian) GNOME has difficulty with that menu structure, and KDE KMenuEDit can cause problems if you use it AND menudrake for KDE menus (if you use KMenuEdit, then never use Menudrake for that same user). Similarly if you use Ximian, then select the option to use their menus. There is nothing weird about our placements. It is known as sponsoring and complying with standards so that there may someday be a nice commercial apps base for those who need them. Civileme QA Team
