KDE acts like MSFT windows (in a bad way)

[Ryan Mesler]

ok, well maybe im over-reacting. as a long time windows user i was tempted
by the wiles of the wonderful yet buggy shell known as litestep. it replaced
the explorer shell in windows and gave you a highly customizable GUI very
similar to afterstep.

anyhoo, when using the litestep shell, if you were to run the windows
explorer browser (not MSIE) it would kill litestep and attempt to take it's
place back as the current shell. a simple reboot would fix this but until
you DID reboot, you couldn't do a damn thing.

as most here know, my main GUI is enlightenment. i love enlightenment. it's
the bestest GUI in the world. really. i was testing out the various KDE apps
and when i ran nautilus, it did the same thing that explorer would do! it
put the default KDE bg image on there, killed enlightenment and attempted to
take over as the default GUI. the kde taskbar didn't appear however, so i
was forced to kill X via the CLI and possibly ruin something. i woulda went
back to check, but i was already running late for work.

and yes, KDE apps were enabled in enlightenment. no reason why that shoulda
done that.
