So it's the recorded history of KDE against your memory of some published story from SuSE ... KDE got started by Matthias Ettrich, back then a student, later on the CTO of Trolltech (and at one point my boss). Here's the original mail form the Usenet: https://kde.org/documentation/posting.txt Note the mentioning of "Qt" in there. You know, it's sometimes amusing to listen to your rants and anecdotes (and sometimes not), but I'd really wish you would spend a bit more time on actually verifying stuff before posting it. Some people might actually believe you. Regards Kai _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
