It's a nice gesture, but a big problem with KDE4 for KDE3 users is it's so vastly different many won't spend the time to figure out how to do what it can do, much less learn enough to know what constitutes a bug.
I know, and those who jumped at KDE 4.0 and 4.1 were doubly struck. But in my opinion KDE 4.4 is much improved and is intuitive to the point where one does not have to be familiar with it to configure it. I mean that, and I never thought that I would say that!
OTOH, KDE3 parity bugs important to KDE3 users just sit, getting touched mostly with me toos, ignored by devs capable of fixing, or getting wontfixed, or getting comments that it's already there (invalid) but just works (inexplicably very) differently.
I know, that is why I need your help! If things are not intuitive, then please let me know and I will file a bug and get the usability team on it. I think that most of "what is missing" is actually "done a little / a lot different" but for the most part I am satisfied with the new way of doing things. Again, I never thought that I would say that about KDE 4!
I touch 4 every once in a while in Cooker or Rawhide or Factory, but no way have spent enough time to actually understand it. The Kicker replacement alone has already wasted too much of my time trying to make work and look like KDE3.
It won't work or look like KDE 3. But it will let you do the same things, and will need very little fussing about (apart from resizing, which is still a pain). Please, please let me know what is not intuitive for you about the panel! And doubly so for missing features. Don't get me wrong, I am not pushing KDE 4 on anybody. I loved KDE 3 and for me it was a pain to move. But I realize that KDE 3 is for all intents and purposes abandonware, so I am trying to get other KDE 3 users to help me file issues on KDE 4 to bring it up to pace. It won't be exactly as KDE 3 was, but it will be better (already is, really) in a lot of ways.
