Hi,

   This is completely wrong. Neither KDE people hate GNOME people
   nor viceversa.

   Time ago, I repeat in a conference the GNOME people need to jump
   on the KDE wagon, so the train will move to a single direction, and
   people does not approve this comment.

   More than on the license, QPL, there are a developer problem.

   Develop in C (Gtk, GNOME) is a lot more easy than develop in C++ 
(Qt, KDE)
  
   But, for the GUI, the C++ approach is a lot superior ... a lot.

   The problem is this. They start to develop on Gtk to create GNOME, in C
   for a license problem.

   Now, they said why I need to change?

   But they need to change, because it is supeiror. Everyone may of 
course wants to do what prefer.

I don't agree FreeDesktop.org, because it is handled by a RedHat employee
and the code is made on Gtk2, generally.

... They are not neutral.
