Razor-QT and GNOME/KDE applications

[tarazed]

I see that Mageia 3 includes Razor-QT which I shall certainly try out as an alternative to GNOME just in case GNOME Classic vanishes from the distribution. Just a quick question; does anybody know if GNOME or KDE applications will run in this environment? Probable answer - yes - but I would like to know for sure.

It is included since Mageia 2. And yes, both GTK and QT applications will run, why shouldn't they? But maybe a hint:
It's long not as polished and complete as KDE/GNOME or LXDE/XFCE are, and it definitely requires some work from the user.
I can tell you first hand as i've used it during the last few months, at home and at work.

BTW: Moved it to the apporiate subforum.
EDIT: Nope, can't do, permissions missing. Will be done by a moderator.

Thanks for the confirmation. So where should this general question have been posted? It is not at all obvious.

[doktor5000]

Below basic support, that's what it is. The other subforum is meant more for general discussion about Mageia, not for support-type issues or question.
If you have something like that, post it here. Cheers

OP: One thing about razor-QT worth noting is that it behaves very different depending on which window manager you use. If you choose KDM, it is a more intuitive, and runs smoother out of the box. If you choose to run rQT w/openbox WM, there will be more of a learning curve but it will run lighter.
