Meanwhile, my housemate tells me that KDE 2.0 with nice, working, and
very friendly applications is coming out in a ocuple weeks.  The GNOME
people should, perhaps recognize they're at risk of second system
syndrome, I.E. fixing everything and shipping nothing.  There IS
competetion out there.  Stuff that is ugly inside but usable WILL drive
stuff that is nice inside but "usable real soon" out of the marketplace.

(Forward as you see fit.)
