Duncan, |

I am not a KDE user as I've always felt it's too large to build and |
| 20 |
maintain on Gentoo, at least on my machines. That said it seems to me |
| 21 |
that maybe you should consider cross-posting this to Gentoo-users as I |
| 22 |
expect there are a lot of KDE-3 users there that aren't reading this |
| 23 |
list. |

You might consider a more concise version of this if you do. you |
| 26 |
have a lot to say on a subject that is clearly important to you. |
| 27 |
However many folks might not be willing to dig in as deeply on first |
| 28 |
reading as your first message here requires. |

Cheers, |
