naw, just another mild (:)) comment from the kde3 stallwarts camp:) what would you expect when the ones who are asking for input for kde4 improvement, they consistently admit that they themselves disable a bunch of kde4 "features" that kde-3-ers complain about!!!!
I don't. I think the defaults are good. I even enable more effects on my systems. I also see usability wins when I show things to windows users. There are things that can be improved, for example the whole 'activity' thing, but that looks like it will get a major rewrite in 4.5, so hopefully that will kill off my final niggle I also think many of the things in kde4 have made my life easier as a user, and it gets better with each release. There are some genuine kde3 features missing in kde4 (manual panel hiding, lacking features in konsole sessions etc), but for the most part, I got used to the kde4 replacement ideas fairly quickly and with 4.2 I was satisfied, and with 4.4 I am very happy with it As for you, it sounds like you're not really a kde3 user, you sound more like someone who would be happier with twm (unless that popup menu is too much glitz for you) Note that kde3 also got complaints from people who thought it was too bloaty and made too many things to emulate windows. As I recall, the complaints came from many of the people who now sing its praise and complain about kde4 (which in many ways move away from windows behaviour - albeit in the direction of behaving like Mac, the Expose function you ridiculed in kde is one of the most popular usability functions in OS X for example) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
