Martin,

Everything you say is absolutely true. (Hoping I was the millionth and getting 
a nice prize   :-)  Anyway, AFAIK  4.0 was released and put out here to 
use.To work with and to evaluate. I really didn't expect it to do what 3.5 
could do.  Well the truth is, that it is unusable for normal work, and cannot 
be fairly  evaluated. With each update from the STABLE repo I had hoped there 
would be improvement. Noticeable change. Not happening. It wasn't a rant, 
just dissapointed. Let's see what happens with 4.1

Sorry that my post was tiresome to you.

Bob S

BTW I started with KDE1. Still have the book around here someplace.
