You mention that you want KDE 4 to be comparable to KDE 3. That is not it's goal. It's goal is to be better than KDE 3.
Its failed miserably. By the way... How can you use terms like "better" if you reject the ability to compare?
Stepping into the fray... If KDE 4 is to be "better" than KDE 3 then there has to be the ability to do everything the previous version did in some fashion or another. For example, we were previously stuck with having to type CAT or ls to get a list of files in a folder. Then a gui was developed and we were presented with a list of those files. Later the gui was advanced and we were presented with a list of those files, and an icon showing what those files should be able to do.
No, this is relevant because KDE 4 is not a replacement for KDE 3.
That is a bit of revisionist reporting. KDE4 was ALWAYS intended as a replacement for KDE3.
Yeah, I would expect the 4.x version to be a direct replacement for the 3.x version of anything. If it isn't a replacement, then don't call it KDE 4. Call it YAGD (Yet Another GUI Desktop) or something completely different. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
