Yes I know. Tell me more about ...

(1) Didn't KDE people say that KDE takes over some operating system roles to 
guaranty that the required services exist on all platforms? In KDE 3.2 there 
seems to be even an integrated inetd !!!

(2) Debian people have problems with some of that. KDE 3.1.x was kept long 
time in "unstable" because the LM Sensors stuff did not compile on an exotic 
system with 0.00x % market share. Does KDE need that so badly? I thought that 
LM Sensors is an interface to read the cpu- and mother-board temperatures and 
the voltage levels of the power supply?

So the conclusion: KDE wants to extend the operating system and there are 
areas that are much more interresting than a custom inetd or an applet to 
display the cpu temperature.
