Comment 7 for bug 509061

I dont use bing. This is needed for custom WMS layers.
If there is an alternative package, then update the osm docs.
Why do we need kde when we have gnome?
That is not the question why does it take one more than one year for a
package to be integrated?
Whatever you do, please make sure that people who follow the osm
instructions know what to do to use custom wms layers.
Also for the balkans, the yahoo images are better than bing, bing is useless
there.
thanks,
mike
