No one has ever provided > me a convincing reason why this is not true. It appears that you do not care to hear my reasons, so I won't bother. If I have reasons that I want Qt and KDE in their own directories, I will do so. I would rather apps that expect Qt and KDE to be set up the same as they are on other OS's to work, than to require apps to be quirkified for FreeBSD's heir. You may not agree with my decision, and I'm not asking you to. But if bwoods has the same preference that I do, I'll gladly tell him how to implement them, and would appreciate not being told I'm stupid in the process.
