I have no interest in the New Model Desktop,

but want to go on using a couple of KDE 3 apps (Kmahjongg, Kworldview);
Trinity offers a possibility of continuing to do that.
You completely support what
I write and suggest without noticing it :-)
I don't want Trinity to fork things like kpdf which evolved into Okular. I
don't want Trinity to fork Gwenview which is much better in the current
variant. I want Trinity to continue the work on the applications which got
dropped or displaced (e.g. Kicker or KWorldView) to work on a future together
instead of against each other.
I want that the users get the best possible software. In case that the KDE
software is better (e.g. Okular) there should not be a fork of the inferior
version.
Btw. a KDE version of kmahjongg [1] exists.
Oh and it would greatly help if everybody would calm down a little bit.
Comparison to 3rd-World dictators should not happen on a mailing list.
Surprised that KDE people don't like Trinity, if they get compared to
dictators if they try to collaborate? Well I'm not. Btw. comparing a German
person with dictators is the worst insult you could imagine for a German.

P.S. an apology for what you just wrote would be appropriate.
