I concur with your rant - I avoid that feature like the plague. I have dual 
24" monitors each running 1600x1200 (or something like that) and use the task 
or alt-tab exclusively.


However, If  a user asks for a feature and it is given the proper reasoning, 
then developers should never downplay that request.  At least this is what I 
tell my programmers and analysts.

To the OP - maybe you should ask on the openSUSE development list or on one of 
the KDE lists.
