You are *really* free to use whatever desktop environment that you wish, supported or not, ergo; no reason to respond.
Then why did you bother. There are obviously those of use who despise KDE4 and no amount of bug fixing will make it work for us.
Then I cannot help you. My goal is to improve KDE 4, so maybe you could help me by pointing out the bad parts. But you should definitely have tried KDE 4.4, as it is completely different than KDE 4.0 or 4.1 that was obviously a bad experience for you.
If they can make a KDE3 style skin for KDE4 with none of the new bloat and useless features like when I hit the upper right corner and my windows do funky things......I DON'T need things like that.
There are KDE 3 style themes, for the most part. And I also disable that Mac OS-X ripoff corner magic that always annoys me.
Or turn off the previews when I hover on the taskbar. Don't need that either.
Disabled on my setup as well.
Bouncing windows, desktop search, nope.
Disabled here, too, but I am considering enabling the desktop search as it has other nice features. I won't bore you with them, though.
Icons that have crap bounce up when I hover over them.
Such as? If you mean those annoying tooltips, then _please_ comment here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211593
What's the point? I had asked that kpersonalizer be ported but I guess that's way too big of a job for them to figure out how to easily turn off all the new crap since that's what they wanted. Remember the deal over having the desktop like it WAS? We were told we didn't need that and they relented when they found out they were wrong.
I don't follow you. Almost everything that you mentioned you can disable.
If the speed problem is running both qt3 and qt4 libs, then why bother running KDE4?
Don't! Just please test it and file issues (or let me file them) so that the annoying things can be fixed before you move off KDE 3. Or test Gnome and file issues there. Or XFCE. But don't expect KDE 3 to last forever. It's the next BeOS. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
