to me it seems Casper wanted to investiate, which is something I respect.
Casper, I like to thank you for trying and reporting, 
this is a contribution to KDE and helpful!

Christian, I am deeply grateful for your past contributions, 
but you do sound bitter in this post.

I know that I do care! In addition Casper and others demonstrage
that they want to help the cause of getting KDE 
and its applications running on windows.
Instead of muttering something like the above, I would appreciate more helpful 
explanations from you , like a pointer to the list what really needs to be 
done and how all other things can be fixed to work. 

Of course this list will draw different opinions and discussion as well,
but I believe this is a good thing. 

Best Regards,
Bernhard
