I think such an assumption is worth NIL! The KDE team has been asking repeatedly that users report to the point what they are missing. Users feel 'to noble' to this... as they were so happy and glad with how KDE3 worked. On the other hand, apparently, there are users that love kde4 the way it is and that are interested in 'extending' it;s functionality. I guess for all those ranters around it would have been 'easier to accept' if the team would have said: "Sorry, we lost interest and we abandon KDE... it's another dead project... but HEY: all the KDE devs think the world is in need of a good Desktop and we now start developping LDE" (L just being the next letter in the alphabet after K) As all the others that seriosly are interested in 'fixing what is broken': stop ranting, create punnctual bug reports, report what feature you are missing. There is plenty in KDE3 which nobody ever uses... simply because it does o longer fit in the current workflows.. so WHY should THI be re-implemented??? Think about it... then write bug reports! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
