I hope that it will be possible to run KDE1 applications under the KDE2 desktop
(with KDE1 libs installed). There are hundreds of KDE1 applications, which
aren't compatible with KDE2.

As John already wrote we will port most of the 1.x tree features to the 2.0
branch. At the moment the 2.0 tree is a big "road works" and it will not be
useable in the next months. In this branch we (will) test some new technologies
for KDevelop 2: MDI,Plugins, generic configuration,DCOP,new dialogeditor,new
projectmanagment and so on.


Ciao!
