Dicks like you shouldn't be allowed to talk on behalf of X.org against KDE. You and X.org should apologize.
Originally posted by marek View PostIt's called "System Settings", despite the fact it has nothing to do with the whole system.
Kubuntu and AFAIK also Fedora-KDE have no problems actually using System Settings as sole system config tool featuring printer setup, user management, software/package management, GRUB configuration, etc.
Originally posted by marek View PostAnyway, KDE folks named it wrong first and now they are pretending it's ok.
While we are on the subject of your software: Better use your time to fix your broken software instead of wasting time bashing KDE here.

If they were named differently and I had both installed how would I know which one to launch:
System Configuration
or
System Settings
?
Instead if they are both named "System Settings" but one of them is prefixed with kde/gnome/... then it should be clear which one to launch.

Originally posted by ahlaht View PostI believe they already decided to call them "Gnome System Settings" and "KDE System Settings", but with the prefix removed under native DE.
Pity about the kindergarten crowd who felt the need to clutter up the discussion with their tantrums...

He'd have a point if they were trying to rebrand Rhythmbox as Amarok, but to think that you can claim ownership of a generic name because "you were first" is just ridiculous and laughable.Last edited by monraaf; 24 July 2011, 03:48 PM.

Originally posted by marek View PostI think he should be banned from making any public statements on behalf of the KDE project, regardless of whether he will make an apology or not. This is a very bad PR move for KDE.
And no, he does not need to issue an apology. KDE System Settings was first. End of story. GNOME should apologize and re-rename their ?System Settings?.
You OTOH should fix the mess that's Xorg instead of bitching against KDE.
