I agree. I don't think we *need* LaTex. What propose would it serve in 
the spin. We already have lilypad for engraving. Inkskape and gimp i 
would like to see still be on the spin, but i won't cry if we remove them

Jupp. Never liked Konqueror, never will. I'm a chrome man myself, but i 
feel firefox should be the default browser. Although I'm not afraid of 
google reading my emails (they probably do), I like to have a good email 
client to help get all my different email account come to one spot 
instead of opening 3-4 tabs to check all of them.

What is the default email client in KDE?
