Sure -- and do you really believe that you will ever get consistency in this 
thing? Do you really believe that you will get kcfg files for all the apps 
out there? Do you really believe that any config editor that shows a long 
list ordered alphabetically by application name (the same name that was
going to be replaced by application type in the menu) will ever enable people 
to find what they're looking for?

You will always have fields where you need to type 'true' next to fields where 
you can click a radio button or a checkbox. You will never achieve 
consistency, just like there will never be one toolkit for Python. Life ain't 
like that.

That one -- that's why I was mild and circumspect in my remarks.

Right -- I might have been confusing your and Aaron's remarks. Aaron wants to 
zap options because KConfEdit can handle them, and you have made something 
very like the Dotfile generator, only for KDE, not FVWM. My apologies.
