Re: Commercial software hooks

[Steve Fox <drfickle k-lug com>]

Does anyone have any comments on this? I'd especially like to hear that
someone is working on this. To the commercial world, KDE is seen as the
"real" desktop...I *really* don't like that. I want using GNOME to be
just as easy as using KDE.
