If you'd actually bothered to _read_ the entire email it wasn't _me_
personally complaining. 

Simply put, a _potential_ user saw an incredibly minor aesthetic issue
and it turned her off using the entire system (what a shame). Spouting
out a list of WinXP programs (winword is the executable not the program
name, the only others that ring a bell being WinRar, a utility and
WinAmp, a now considerably unpopular [to what it used to be] media
player) isn't addressing what IS an issue. My argument still stands,
adding "Win" to the front of a program seems to identify it to Windows,
misspelling a work with "K" on the front to someone not familiar with
KDE looks like just that, a misspelling.

I hope all minor criticisms aren't met with such dismissal, it just
seems arrogant. I accept that it may not be something that will ever be
changed but cutting off feedback from a missed user is a terribly silly
thing to do! Everyone was a KDE newbie at one stage.
