Hi Dotan,
since you are asking for feature requests, I thought I would chime in
too.

I loaded kde 4.4 on my computer to see how it works.  Then I tried to do
some work with it by loading a ldif address file into both Thunderbird
and Evolution.  I use Thunderbird for my personal email and to receive
emails for a newsletter that I write.  I use Evolution exclusively for
the opensuse mail list.

When I tried to load the ldif file, I was able to import it to both
programs in a jiffy.  But the ldif file isn't importing the current
addresses from the current file, even though the file name I am
importing from is the correct one.  It is importing the address book
from the previous file, near as I can figure.  It is also not importing
all the addresses in the file.

After that, I decided I was done messing with them so I tried to eject
the cd from the cd drive, and couldn't figure out how to do it with any
gui commands.  I tried:

1. Letting the little popup thingy in the taskbar show which drives had
cd's in them, and trying to get the cd to eject from there.  No joy.

2. Going to the My Computer plasmacon on the desktop and opening it,
clicking on the icon next to the drive with the cd in it to see if it
would eject.  No joy, so I tried to right click on the drive in the list
in the My computer window.  Also no joy.

3. Opening Dolphin and going to the media file, finding my cd and trying
to right click to get a dropdown list with an eject command.  No joy.

4. Pressing the eject button on the drive.  No joy, no messages telling
me what I am doing wrong.

I finally shut down the computer with the cd in it, I am pretty sure
from using the other Kde4.x's that I will be able to  eject it after
restarting the computer.  

Maybe in your reply you will be able how to simply and easily eject the
cd after I am finished using it.  But if you have to tell me, I think it
counts as being a non-intuitive feature in kde 4.4.  

I haven't loaded kde 4.x on my computer that I use regularly because of
so many quirky little things in the kde 4.x's like this that just slow
me down and render the kde 4.x desktops a pain to use.  I decided to
stay with Suse 11.1 and kde 3.5 until kde gets these things worked out
for the new version. 

Thanks,
Mark
