A revolutionary road to get around.

“Well, here comes a good one I think. As I was talking to some
people on the KDE IRC channel yesterday, there was a comment made
about a possible way to orient new KDE users on how to use the
desktop. However, I believe that users should be left clues to
discover their desktop on their own. There should not be an intro
popup or anything like that. Ponder about this for a moment.

“What can you say, for example, about paintings. Paintings are
not “explained” to anyone. You look at it and you get it in your
own particular way. That is enough for you and you know what it
means. The clues left by the artist are clear enough to your mind
that you find meaning in the Painting. You intuitively “know” what
the purpose of the painting is. Reflect for a moment on this
Cezanne and know what it means.”
