</div>No, you said they had _dropped_ bluetooth support, yet clearly they<br>
haven't. I don't need to use it to know the support is still there. It<br>
could be buggy as can be - I can't tell that - but it hasn't been<br>
dropped.<br>

</div>I see what you're saying, but it's present on my desktop. Actual<br>
existence of software trumps a policy statement.<br>

<br>This bug is marked high priority on KDE bug system, so it really makes me wonder how you refuse to acknowledge that the bug exists -- despite not even using BT.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

any kind of valid comparison between the numbers filed against each<br>
desktop, but it would be fun to try. What I'm "not buying" is a blunt<br>
statement that there is way more testing of the Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop.<br>
I don't think you can provide any evidence of that.<br>

<br>There are more employes from Cannonical dedicated to QA Ubuntu than K*. There are way more users of Gnome as well, it pretty much follows that there should be more users and devs to use the betas, fill reports, and fix bugs.<br clear="all">
