For the last time, I, nor the majority are against 4.*!!! It's going to be, I hope, the best ever in time. But, it ISN'T now because (drum roll, once again) it ISN'T configurable like 3.5 nor has the features of 3.5. For 4.* to really succeed, it MUST have both.
Guess it's time for you do contribute a little to the openSUSE distribution, Fred. Instead of saying that it must have what it has, define what is missing and report it.
Jesus Christ! How many times must one state that what is required from 4.xxxxxxx is what is *already*, *now*, available in 3.xxx as far as features, and functionality, goes?! Some developer wants to add eye-candy to the whole sheebang and produce the same results in a different way - that's fine, OK, acceptable. Go for it! But don't shove KDE4.xxx onto people if it doesn't *at least* have the same functionality as the current KDE3.x. *Nobody* asked for KDE3 to be re-written from scratch to produce KDE4. *Nobody*. The people who wanted to do so were the 'Developers'. Fine. So, let them go ahead and develop KDE4 --- but *don't* shove it in as a working Desktop into a distribution until it *is* at least as good as what KDE3 is! *Everybody* and his dog knows what KDE3.xxx does so what is this nonsense about people having to submit "bug reports" about what is 'missing' in 4.xxx? (But nobody is listening to similar comments from users, are they? Somehow KDE4 is being shoved forward irrespective of what so that it easier for people to generate comments stating that 'Linux' is a lot of crap when compared to what MS produces. Right? Wrong?)
