Ha! I upgraded because I needed a different version of gqview to view a
particular website.

Very rarely do I hear of people who run gqview under KDE or k3b under
GNOME. As if people think that is forbidden.

While k3b is a default application during installation, I think the problem
is different. I think for people coming from Windows they are simply not
aware of the options they have.

I may be the exception but I probably have five or six CD/DVD manipulative
programs, and the same number of graphics application, and even more
programming development applications and web page design applications (an
music and ....).

I think if the application is there in the menu, new Linux users will
eventually get around to using them. I now I occasionally just run down the
entire list of programs in the repositories just to find interesting stuff.
Another part of the problem is that many people only have the three standard
repositories. I have many more, but caution is needed when installing
applications from other repositories.
