Sven,

        If you recall 8 months ago -- it was...

        I just hope the KDE developers are paying close attention before there 
is a
wholesale abandonment of kde4 to something/anything else. It not that kde4 is
terrible or sucks or any more of a thousand adjectives, but rather the radical
departure from a standard and stable desktop model. No matter how many  bugs
get fixed with kde4 it will still present a clumsy, input intensive, desktop
compared to kde3.

        Simply looking at the simple things that I routinely do with a single 
mouse
click in kde3, that I might do 200 times a day, now require a ctrl+alt+click
that is distracting as hell to real workflow. That is a significant problem
that needs to be addressed and overcome or every single bug in kde4 could be
resolved and you would still be left with a clumsy, input intensive, desktop.

        Work, to a lot of us, is about a lot more than moving icons and widgets 
around
to different windows and panels all day. It's the getting stuff done part of
the kde4 desktop that needs the fixing.
