So you are working around the problem for them. In your own words "Incompatible | conflicting != broken", or does that only hold for hardware? Why then aren't you willing to work around the problems you are having rather than just complaining about FreeBSD/KDE/whatever? I really would like to see this thread completely finished so that this list can get back to what it used to be used for. I never used to find every post useful, but it was never tedious. John.
