So?
15 questions, 0 answers from you. Is that because you couldn't figure it out either?
I saw the graphic. I didn't scroll down far enough to see the questions.
The 'hide panel' is one of the few things that are still not available. It's coming, but it's not here yet. Most of those other questions are already answered on http://userbase.kde.org. I don't propose to answer them en masse here.
Here's the wrong place, as is there. The right place is right on that flashy desktop. People shouldn't have to hunt for instructions on how to deal with paradigm shifts en masse. Even it that were reasonable, you can't expect every new user to have a working internet connection immediately upon conclusion of installation. Some never ever get them.
What I see there, and it's only a sample of v3 vs. v4 differences, is a whole bunch of paradigm shifts. Little works the way I expect, if I can even figure out how to do what I want at all.
Then ask.
I just did, 15 times. 0 answers.
There are too many differences, too many things missing,
such as?
You still haven't answered this.
Among the 15 questions on the web page, among them: 3-Why don't tooltips appear when I hover Kicker or menu icons? 4-What corresponds to KDE3's "expand as required to fit contents"? 5-What corresponds to KDE3's "show right panel hiding button"? 6-What corresponds to KDE3's "only hide panel when a panel hiding button is clicked"? 7-What is screen edge button for?
I do agree that the changes are big enough to feel quite daunting at first, but there are plenty of people around who are more than willing to help by explaining things. My objection is about whiners who make vague statements instead of asking for specific information. IMHO they have little intention of learning anything new, so should simply stay away, going with a KDE3 distro.
I asked. Where are the answers? More importantly, why should so many need ask or complain?
Why should you not need to?
That anyone has any, let alone many, as is the case with KDE4, is indicative of a big problem. Someone "upgrading" from a well established and nicely working destktop to its ostensible replacement should have few or no questions that _need_ answers prior to being able to get most of his usual work done. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
