- I'm not ranting, I'm merely stating the state of affairs
- I've pointed the asker to a solution that will do the job for the problem
- the problem should not exist with KDE (and I've pointed the asker to 
bugs.kde.org just in case there is something wrong after all)
- 'it doesn't work and no-one is fixing it' is what some X developers said 
when asked about the extension (although I admit this is a second-hand 
information)
