Well i use KDE  so your saying i have to switch distributions?  i do use
quite alot of gnome apps.  but i prefer to use KDE. But you want to rule
out the possibility of using KDE packages period?  A home user might
want to use say guarddog to configure and maintain there firewall? sorry
cant be done it requires KDE which your distribution doesnt have
available. I would have great difficulty using me system without gnome
library's. there are alot of great programs out there that use QT/KDE
but you dont want or use any of them and think that all redhat users
dont have the choice for themself but should use there system as you see
fit? what happened to the freedom of choice you get from linux?
