And of course this is what everyone has been bitching about since KDE 4 was
foisted upon the distro in spite of all sorts of warnings by users who pleaded
with Suse not to make it part of 11.

In spite of the organized effort of browbeating objectors into silence by
opensuse and KDE developers, (including threatening some with having
their posting privileges on these lists revoked) we ARE STILL HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION after lo these many months.

I expect sometime around release 4.2  KDE4 might approach the richness and
robustness of KDE3.5.9.

I update my testbed virtual machine periodically, but I've quite frankly
lost a great deal of interest.
