Really? I see people trying to use KDE Applications (for example on #kde) on different desktop environment and being confused for the look and feel. I understand that: - you don't want the Plasma look used outside Plasma - yes, other desktop environment should provide and integration plugin but isn't it really possible to have a "simpler" default integration plugin, when no one else is provided, that at least show the icons, for example? I think we are not helping users of KDE applications but not Plasma users, and let's be realistic about the possibility of other desktop environment providing an integration plugin. > Given that: if people agree with my view that the framework integration is > only about Plasma, I suggest that we move the framework integration to kde/ > workspace to release it together with Plasma instead of frameworks. IMHO only if it's possible to package and load it outside Plasma, or otherwise if there is a more sane default plugin.
