It would be a lot like how Mac OS X handles X applications.

The _only_ reason I think that X is awesome, is because it's a client-server model. So, for example I can have my applications running on my server and displaying them on my computer.
Mac OSX can't do that. I just hope Wayland will continue to be client-server. Else, I won't bother, as VNC just doesn't cut it.
Anyone has more info about this?
Cheers,
Benedikt

They should have come up with a new name so that it could be version 1.0. KDE: Awesomeness Edition, version 1.0. Ok I admit my name is lousy, but at least it would have been more honest.Last edited by StringCheesian; 21 May 2009, 06:54 PM.

Shush your mouths about it. It's history. KDE released something that most people didn't find useful. Live with it. There is nothing that they could of done to avoid it. It is simply the fundamental reality of what happens with software and rewrites.
It's as obvious as it is blameless.
It's a trade off. A bit of pain for a couple years until the software gets up to speed, then hopefully they'll have something modern and better then what you can get from other places.
