Please show me a person who is neither part of, nor outside of but closely associated with, the KDE community who can be bothered to use unqualified "KDE" to refer exclusively to the community rather than the desktop environment.

Heh, there probably are afew of them. They probably also run GNU/Linux, edit their documents with OpenOffice.org and display all of it with the X Window System. :-P

There is no X Window System. There is a window system named X. One could say the X window system ;-) (Take account of upper/lower case use).

Sorry, I confused it with "X Windows" which is not among the sanctioned names. Personally I use the one true name: "X". More is loquaciousness ;-).
