Thank you, Felix.  I don't want TDE to compete with KDE.  I like TDE _because_ 
it is not like KDE and its ilk.  If you don't like what TDE looks like, 
Alexandre, as you see you can easily change it.  That is its greatest 
strength.  It lets you choose.  

As for start-up speed, that would not be _my_ choice for the focus of our 
developers' time with so few of them there.  It isn't all that fast, but nor 
is it slow.
