Bug#538144: I'm sorry KDE maintainers are not responsible people.

2009-08-03 Thread Nathanael Nerode
I am sorry that the KDE maintainers are incapable of forwarding bugs upstream. One would assume that they, unlike me, have accounts on KDE's Bugzilla. GNOME has its problems, but its maintainers are actually making some effort to maintain it, so I guess I'll switch to it. Bye-bye now. --
