Guess it's time for you do contribute a little to the openSUSE distribution, Fred. Instead of saying that it must have what it has, define what is missing and report it. If you cannot configure the taskbar the way you believe it shoud, file a bugzilla report and learn the *new* way or you will have provided a "bug" report to be acted upon. The way you are presently "complaining", a mild representation, NOTHING IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED but *noise* on the list and bad feelings.
From what I can tell, ALL has been reported. Supposedly, the inability to hide the task bar will be taken care of.......it's not yet.
If you take your car to the mechanic and tell him that it doesn't drive the way it used to, what is he supposed to do. The programmers are *not* going to pull your teeth to find what features you are missing. YOU are going to have to report them or, as you have said they stated, do without!
Give me a break Patrick. As someone else pointed out, they above all devs. know what the features are in 3.5.....we need them all, as has been stated for so long.
Please everyone, all the vague statements, complaints and generalities accomplish nothing but raised tempers and frustrations. We work together or fail!
We have been offered, probable offer, a concession for 11.1, BUT THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL. 11.2 will be kde4!
Take it and run with it and MAKE IT WORK.
Yes, I have been shouting, but the needless banter is frustrating and accomplishing less than nothing.
It sounds like they don't want to implement all the features of 3.5, but so far, no one's been honest about that, or not that I've read anyway. Did I miss something? When asked what features we want, the answer normally is ALL of what we have in 3.5. That's an informative answer. It's not a "nasty" response....just being factual. We don't want to loose anything.
