KDE decoration plugin or/and GNOME support

[Eva Star]

Hello, 

Now, fedora 23 installer works. Next step to release new Qubes R3.2 is "KDE plugin or/and GNOME support"? 

What decision was made about issue? 

There are several threads about waste of effort to develop new KDE5 plugin from 2015 year and later . E.g.:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1166

What decision was made?

And if the decision is not made about KDE5 plugin, perhaps, it is worth looking towards alternatives?

KDE5 plugin is implemented anyway, take a look here:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1784

And for now we've failed with Gnome support:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1806

So Qubes 3.2 is going to have KDE (+Xfce).

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Maybe need to change milestone at github for this issue?

Is it high priority task?

And is it possible to get sorted list by priority at github?

Indeed, updated.

Somehow - it is one of few major changes in Qubes 3.2. As such, I would
define it as a blocker for 3.2. Adjusted priority on github (it wasn't a
blocker for 4.0, because we still hope to get Gnome support there...).

Unfortunately not - there is no such thing as "priority at github", it's
only label...

That sounds better to me anyway. :)
