some danged kde4 required tool to STOP YOU from having text only boot.
if I tell my system to NOT use a graphcal boot, then I should get a text only boot. but noooo, the asshats developing KDE decided to make a kde4 required program that FORCES a graphic boot.
a second complete idiocy I found tonight, google gadgets are absolutely required for kde4. why? I don’t use any of the google garbage desktop apps, so I don’t need google gadgets installed. The google apps do NOT provide anything I need.
