I don't want to grin. Not necessary.
I just wanted to ask here what do you have in kde3.5 and don't find in kde4 and you would like to have. Not to say you will have it but to give info to devs...
I stopped using kde4 on 11.1 for problems in the config panel and lack of understanding of the new windows layout. I expect this to be solved before next release;
what do you think? be constructive :-)
jdd NB: I miss the kweather applet, but it don't work neither in kde 3.5 :-(
This is from a 'everyday/general' user, who is not technically proficient (i.e. I do not have a background in programming or even using the CLI/shell beyond general/basic commands, unlike many here). Most of the background and info for general use that I have is from online forums, general Linux books and for openSUSE - from the openSUSE Forums (including for installation of KDE 4.x). I am running openSUSE 11.1 with both KDE 3.5.10 and KDE 4.2.2 (111", the latest as on date). Though I find KDE 4.2.2 to be coming up very nicely, more functional with each new version and I use it often (I am writing this from KDE 4.2.2), I still end up using some KDE3 applications in KDE 4. Hopefully, this and other problems (plasmoids, add-ons, applications, etc) with KDE 4 would be mostly fixed by the time KDE 4.3 is implemented in openSUSE 11.2. Also, KDE 3.5.10 has a simpler interface to navigate in. Since this is the latest version of KDE 4.2 series (and from the 'Unstable' KDE repo), it is expected that there will be some features missing or not fully functional. However, from an 'everyday' end-user POV, I feel that openSUSE 11.2 should have the option to have KDE 3.5.x + KDE 4.x (latest stable version of KDE 4.x at the time of release of openSUSE 11.2); esp. considering that there are still a number of mainly KDE 3.5.x users & also those who prefer KDE 3.5.x over KDE 4.x. Hope the developers make a note of this. If not possible to have KDE 3.5.10 in openSUSE 11.2, then at least there should be an option to install it as an add-on Desktop Envt by adding required KDE 3 repositories, and the option (in system config files) such that KDE 3.5.10 & KDE 4.x can run comfortably side-by-side.
