Another library and yet another library, How long will it take, until 
we reach the stage, ther KDE is today, ther kdeinit loady tons of 
shared libraries prior to liading the applications. When the user 
starts an app, kdeinit loads this app, the libs are already loaded and 
the referenced resolved, and voila, the applications starts with 
minimal delay.

Things cannot go worse anymore! Its almost impossible to debug this 
stuff anymore. This is the way, Win3.x worked, everything was loaded 
into a single address space.

UNIX is different and this difference is the base of UNIXs stability 
and I want to trust in my UNIX system, even tomorrow.

73, Mario
