nod of full agreement.

personally i'd love to see this happen as its a *real* shame that
the bindings (which from what i've heard are pretty darn good) ain't
in kde cvs. but i'd truely prefer to see them in kdebindings.

but, we have to speak (as i have to helio) to various package maintainers
about getting the working parts of kdebindings into the various distros.

thanks for forwarding this to the correct place richard.
i'm not even on kde-core-devel anymore as there is far too
much crap on the list and i had to wait *way* too long to
get posting rights, as have several other people even
those with kde.org addresses.

i hope that simon / ade get this as i'm certainly not
gonna resubscribe to kde-core-devel yet again.

cheers,
Alex
