I will check, please show me the patches.

The reason is that I want a more conservative development of KDE3. Frequently 
brutal changes in Trinity make me crazy :)

Tim have his roadmap, I have my own. My spare time is limited and I won't

The forking is not a tragedy, this is fundamental beauty of open source. If 
you like, you can consider my fork as a "conservative branch of Trinity" :)
