OK it seams I start to understand what is going on, so for some reason, 
nitrogen developer got mixed info from we (kde), in one end we (oxygen) asked 
him to port nitrogen main options into oxygen he said it would be a good idea, 
(we kinda need developers, so it was a win win situation). On the other end 
Lucas talked to him an told him to commit nitrogen and work directly on it, 
and so he did....
