    It now appears -after digging through the linked announcement - that SUEDE is the candidate for default icons.

    A great step up.

    When is cut and paste going to be even supported across applications in KDE or GNOME? Oh, text works ok? Well what about a piece of a picture or a clip of a wave?

    I just went into kview, copied part of a picture, and pasted it into the GIMP. Then I went into kpdf, copied part of a page, and pasted that into the GIMP. Then I copied part of a page in kpdf, and pasted it into a konqueror window, and it asked me what filename I'd like, and turned it into a PNG image.

    I don't have any sound editing software, so I can't test anything there.

    Without configuring 20 various text files?

    I haven't used text files to configure printers in a long time. With CUPS and KDE, you can just use their printer install wizard. It's about the same as installing a printer on Windows.

    No, the corners unfortunately can't be anti-aliased right now. That's one of the things we need composite for. :) I'm sure Havoc will support it quickly after composite becomes available by default.

    Also I made the icons smaller in the latest release of the metacity theme, you can get it here:

    I don't think it's perfect yet, the main focus has been on the Gtk engine.
