10 Yes, of course I know that, and the readability I've developed with KMail-2
11 in KDE-4 suits me nicely. I don't see any of the busyness that QT-5
12 advocates decry, but I do see swathes of wasted space in the same program in
13 KDE-5. And I do mean *wasted* - it achieves nothing at all on a desktop
14 screen and would be better used for something.

17 desktops in due course.
