can we please move this thread OFF this mailing list? it belongs on 
gnome-usability or Linus' private mbox or whatever .. but not here. 
statements like the one quoted above are just begging for this forum to 
become a nest of ratholes where each project projects their unique position 
on things as if it were gospel, leaving productive work by the wayside.

this is not the path to fixing the *open source desktop*, which is what we are 
here for. in the context of this particular list and effort, i could care 
less what GNOME, Linus or the pope thinks about the GNOME print dialog, file 
dialog or window manager. i expect you to care the same amount about what i 
think about KDE's comparable technologies.

unless of course you feel like X.org, ISV support, hardware driver issues, 
bridging kernel facilities into the desktop (e.g. HAL, inotify, blah blah 
blah), etc, etc... are so trivial we can waste time, good will and energy in 
this forum on these discussions ;)
