Hi, Ambrogio. You really don't have to switch to gnome to use evolution or gimp, or any other application (nor would you have to switch to kde if you were running in gnome and wanted to run a kde application). Installing the application you want will pull in any necessary libraries, and the application will run on either desktop. I do use some gnome applications on my kde desktop.
Yes, I know that. My mail was only a "provocation" :-) About interation and integration of desktops and applications, I have a lot of problems.
For example, I'm Italian and I like in most cases that applications localized work well. But, if I start gnome and I launch evolution and gimp (that are 2 applications that I use very often) menus are in italian. If I start KDE and use the KDE apps, they are in Italian, but evolution and gnome are in english. I was unable to obtain the italian menu. Apps depend on desktop configuration, so using of the environment vars wasn't usefull.
Agreed - I also prefer to check whether others experience a problem, since if I'm the only one experiencing it, it's likely to be my configuration that's at fault.
I think this is the right approach, and also read and check other similar bugs or help request.
A few, but not many now. The problem is that some of the things are done differently, so if there are particular things that you miss, do ask. We may be able to tell you how to do it, and if not, we may be able to tell you whether it is work-in-progress.
I know that there are everytime things that are work-in-progress, and other that are impossible. I need everytime the last one :-)
