Is your concern QT?  Or the fracturing of the code base into two
projects?  Or tampering with a project you think is already good?  Or
something else?

After some of the comments on this newsgroup I went back and installed
LXDE as my desktop on a new SUSE install, and am remembering again what
a good desktop it is.  I'm hardpressed to find anything I'm
"missing" (and certainly not heavy-weight stuff like KDE4's stupid
"Activities" or any recent Gnome abominations).  In fact, it reminds me
of KDE3, which I loved.  All I really need is a pretty picture in the
background, something that lets me launch apps from a keystroke like
Alt-F2 or equivalent (these days I usually prefer Win-r actually), a
windowing system, and a file manager.  The rest of the desktop as
currently defined can kiss my butt.  So LXDE is actually feature
complete as far as I can tell.
