I'm a Linux user who's considering using FreeBSD as a desktop OS. At the 
moment I'm just reading and trying to soak up basic information, but I'll be 
installing FreeBSD in a dual-boot system over the next few days.

With that in mind, can you tell me how problems like this one (KDE 2.1 vs. 
XFree86-4) get resolved? 

Is KDE ported to FreeBSD? Or does the original source compile under BSD? 

If the latter, do you get much support from the KDE team? 

And if you don't, are there programmers in the FreeBSD community who could 
tackle a problem like this and feed the resolution back into the main KDE 
source tree?

Thanks.

M.
