Partitioning

  • QParted Review

Is a partition editor really a basic part of a graphical desktop environment? Besides the need to work with partitions during the installation, 
it is actually not needed. I would discourage everybody to change partitions while the system is running, and this wouldn't work anyway on all partitions.
The better way is to boot a live medium. Then it doesn't matter whether a Qt or GTK or whatever based partition editor is used.

Web Browser (oh well!)

• 1. Qupzilla needs update
• 2. Dillo - but it's based on FLTK what we want?
• 3. Konqueror - conflicts with PCManFM-Qt as the (default) file manager, see below [1]
• 4. Firefox - too much overload propably…
• 5. Arora (Google) - dead upstream
• 5a. Rekonq - maintainer of Arora suggests as a comparable replacement.
