2. what kde3 functionality is kde4 still missing?
rekall, kbabel...
KBabel has been renamed, it's now called Lokalize and has seen many improvements.
No, that's not true. Lokalize is a complete independent rebuild, like kde4 is largely a rebuild of kd43. And similarly to kde4, lokalize is still not finished: it still misses quite some crucial features that kbabel had, like syntax checking. You can upload faulty translations made with lokalize that can crash an application, whereas kbabel catches the error. Lokalize is a magnificent program, yes, but it is still not finished. I will be enchanted to be able to use it when it is done, or at least, all crucial features.
I don't know rekall, it doesn't seem to be part of KDE SC. You can run applications based on KDE3 libraries just fine in a Plasma environment though, so my educated guess would be that also rekall still just works (not that I see a package for it in the repos I've configured).
Which is the problem, precisely. You can find it in the KDE3 repos for 11.2, not in oss. It was part of the default kde installation back in 11.0, IIRC. At least, It was for sure part of the oss repo. http://www.rekallrevealed.org/kbExec.py Rekall: The database front-end for KDE and the Web http://sourceforge.net/projects/rekall/ Rekall is a personal, programmable DBMS system in the style of Paradox or MS Access.
