The adoption of KDE or GNOME is purely voluntary. You do not need to use either one. They are not standard in FreeBSD as they are in some other free systems. The choice is yours. > They still are much better than WIN. > There is no stable standard for applications' developers, under such > environments. As you say, they are still much better than Windows. I haven't done any GTK development, but the Qt interface has been very stable since 2.0. When 3.0 came out, a few trivial changes to my code were necessary, taking me about a half hour to make. Since then I haven't had to make any changes at all. In the meantime, I have been given ample notice of the deprecated functions. In some cases these notices have been around since 2.0. David
