Not commenting on the rest, but just to bring this bit up... Debian has excellent KDE support these days - the new releases are usually available in unstable extremely quickly.

With the change in Qt licensing, I'm not sure RMS actually cares that much about the two any more. I'm not even sure he uses a GUI. You could always ask him.

Actually, I think RMS is on record as prefering Qt to Gtk.

The Qt licence forces people to go 100% Free or 100% proprietary. The Gtk licence allows them to dodge the issue.

Cheers,
Wol
