Actually I was referring to the 'bitching' part of step C)  :-)

I soon discovered that other than the wallpaper and the file manager
there are actually very few Gnome programs that I seldom used amyway.
Same for KDE applications. Firefox, Thunderbird, Filezilla, LibreOffice
several others have nothing to do with 'which desktop'.

As for this list? It is supposed to be a general Fedora
user-helping-user list. How many *real* Gnome developers are here? And
by *real* I mean upstream coders and not Fedora maintainers. And that is
not a slight on Fedora maintainers.

Kinda' like bitching at the guy at the magazine stand about a certain
magazine.  :-)
