That is because 4.0 and 4.1 were not meant for end users. 4.2 was, but
it was known to be feature-incomplete. KDE 4.3 is termed feature
complete but that does not mean that it has everything KDE 3 had, just
that it has all the features normally found in a desktop environment.

Please test 4.4 and let me know exactly what features are missing for
you, and I will help file issues, bus, and feature requests. Thanks!
