Agreed to Aaron here. I got 10.3 installed and kalarm is 'kde4'...and doesn't work as simply as it did/does on SuSE9.3. In the OpenSuse 10.3 version, it wants me to write/use some script. If I knew how to code or whatever, great, but since I'm just a plain home user and can't just click a radio button or two and set the time for an alarm with an up/down arrow, I ditched 10.3. (if anyone's going to say 'get an alarm clock', I have one...*my computer*!)
Doesn't anyone remember the KISS principle and 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!' ?
They would not start new line if old KDE3 would be easy to fix - adjust to modern times. The functionality will be added on the go, as it happens on each new update.
You somehow missed 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'. Kalarm worked just fine since SuSE 7.3. Why did anything have to be taken *out* of it? There was nothing wrong with it, it worked extremely well. SuSE 9.3 is modern...just because it's a few years old means it isn't? Funny how 9.3 is working quite well for me and the "modern" 10.3 didn't.
What they missed is to underscore very early that KDE4 is not next polish of KDE3, but rather new project that will fit better to todays hardware and user expectations,
Again, I say 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'. Kalarm from 7.3 to 9.3 worked well...now it doesn't in 10.3. There was no reason to have changed a thing about it since no one as far as I know or remember never reading about, ever complained about it *not* working. -- "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
