A rather good point. Of course, some of us like living on the edge <g>, |
| 15 |
but it's still something I'd not add as a dev, certainly not unless it was |
| 16 |
linked to some sort of local |
| 17 |
USE=this-might-kill-your-children-and-eat-their-flesh type of USE flag! <g> |

(OK, s/children/files/, s/their-flesh/your-disk/, but you get the point...) |

Never-the-less, I added the strings patch here, and have the new KDE 3.4.2 |
| 22 |
stuff at least, compiled against it... Computing is my hobby; if I |
| 23 |
wanted something that would predictably "just work", I'd be doing TiVos or |
| 24 |
the like! Much of the fun is the occasional breakage in mysterious ways, |
| 25 |
never knowing quite when it'll happen, and the challenge of figuring out |
| 26 |
how to get back to a working system, again! |
