It is equally clear that KDE3 power users would have been better served had KDE4 been given ... a KDE3 look and feel option, similar to that given those who upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP.
Indeed, does anyone know if a KDE3 look & feel option bug/feature request exists in the KDE Bugzilla?
There would be no point.
Sounds like you're not familiar with the W2K look & feel option in WXP. I've heard there's something similar for XP users upgrading to Vista or W7. There certainly would be a point. If "fixed", on selection, among other things it would: 1-have no Cashew 2-have no "folder" around the icons in the upper left of desktop, just some icons 3-have only one "activity" per desktop 4-use the older KDE menu style 5-alias the Panel Kicker 6-alias systemsettings KControl 7-provide Panel/Kicker settings also in KControl 8-offer easy selection of wallpapers specific to each desktop in KControl 9-Default to tree view in KControl 10-be incapable of an errant click on the Panel rearranging the Panel's contents or making the Panel disappear altogether In short, it would be a simple way to make KDE4 look and behave as much as possible like what upgraders from KDE3 are used to, minimizing "upgrade" disruption of getting actual work done. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
