We are on the KDE bugtracker, discussing a KDE problem. The conversation is confined to the field of KDE. Every single user commenting here has stressed the importance of fixing issue 1 (Add the feature for only KDE apps). I understand the desire to handle issue 3 (Attempt to work upstream to change the whole world) but changing the world is not the goal of the KDE bugtracker nor related software that is developed in conjunction with discussions on the KDE bugtracker. Please, let issue 1 (Add the feature for only KDE apps) remain the goal of KDE and of this issue specifically, at least until parallel efforts enable fixing issue 3. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
