For kde4 at least, KDE had a policy /not/ requiring systemd. I'm not sure on kde5 (the apps for which aren't even in the tree yet, I believe, but it's coming... tho I've been unable to get kwin5 working on amd64 here with radeon native kernel/mesa/xorg drivers), but I /believe/ they're keeping the same policy as I've not seen otherwise. Of course I've no idea of kde ppc status. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
