No, I've never done any KDE development.

Did you ever try to build Gnome from source, without an existing Gnome 
install to build against, during its period of having *vertical* 
cross-dependencies?  I still don't know what they were thinking.

I still don't do ANYTHING on my machine that can't, or could not, be 
done with fvwm and GTK+.  I need Gnome like a fish needs a bicycle.

But remember the Billster's claim that Linux is viral?  Well, Linux 
isn't .... but Gnone *IS* viral.  It gets into everything.  It's getting 
hard to find any nontrivial desktop application for Linux that you can 
even INSTALL without having a full Gnome installation, let alone run. 
And the damned thing is spreading to other Unixen.
