Why configure KDE with a Gnome app?? That's pollution, for sure. If I
could, I'd remove Gnome. A previous email to this list mentioned that
you couldn't even change your mouse pointer in Gnome. My Gawd! What have
we done! Did someone just up and decide that one mouse pointer serves
all?? I have many choices of mouse pointers with KDE. Sorry, but that's
the way it is, and why I use it. Ric
