KDE and GNOME are certainly not exceptions to this. It is quite likely that at least some (and probably most) of the problems you encountered are inherent with those programs and not with the OS used. It is also worth noting that the FreeBSD project is not responsible for documenting the software in the ports/packages collection. That is the job if the people who wrote the program. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
