I agree. Rpms are no longer necessary with a well working installmgr, and 
could even cause trouble. (using rpms and installmgr may result in corrupted 
rpm databases)

The main question is now in which direction we are going to go with the 
installmgr. 
Should we 
1.) develop the existing gtk based version
2.) create a kde/qt based application?

If 2), then should we integrate it into bibletime (easier to maintain and 
translate) or create a separate app?
Please post your opinions!

My vote:
We should create a kde based app and include it in bibletime, maybe as a 
dialogue. But there should be the option to execute _only_ this dialog, maybe 
via commandline argument (e.g. bibletime --install-only). Static builds would 
make this available for non-kde environments.
