Have you ever used KDE 4.1.3? Haven't you noticed that no one wants to maintain KDE 3 or fork it?
Haven't you read that he can't use 4?

From what I have read of KDE 4 I would find it totally unusable, because I would not be able to see to adjust it and work out where things are.

I have to assume that he has vision problems of some kind.
I have a hard time finding out what kind of vision problems prevent one from using KDE 4 when he already uses KDE3, so I assume you mean that accessibility features are lacking in KDE4, even though no mention of this is made by you or him. Too many assumptions are made here, I think that Lisi shouldn't take what he reads about KDE4 for granted, testing it would be better in my opinion. By the way, I didn't like abandoning KDE3 in the beginning, because I was used to it and could avoid most of its problems. After I used a stable KDE4 version for a week, I changed my opinion, because most things work better in KDE4 and many serious and long-standing KDE3 problems have been fixed. At least one of them (desktop bad design and stability) is almost impossible to fix in KDE3. From all the complaints about KDE4 I've heard, the only that is valid in my opinion is that it's different than KDE3 in ways that many people don't care about, especially with regards to plasma and the interface in general. They seem to be the minority and can continue using KDE3, Kind regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
