KDE/Missing Applications

Missing Applications

This page is for documenting and discussing missing applications in KDE4, whether these are KDE3 apps that haven't made the switch yet, or apps from other desktops that there are no KDE equivalents for.

Before adding an app to the list, first look to see if it has already been 'found'.

This page was inspired by a blog by Ana Guerrero (ana)
