Hi, What about socks support? I can't believe it's not planned even for 4.5. http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.5_Feature_Plan#kdenetwork m. On St 7. Apríl 2010 18:53:32 Felix Miata wrote:

This is now empty on the two mirrors I checked. Is this a temporary condition? If so, is there an ETA on population there? KDE4.4.x is still not a suitable replacement for KDE3 here.
I file bugs and feature requests for KDE.
I know. I have you set to "watch" on bugs.kde.org. :-)
I file bugs for openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora & Kubuntu, feature requests for openSUSE and Mandriva, and on rare occasions a bug or feature request for KDE.
While I agree that KDE 3.5.10 does have some advantages over KDE 4, I am interested in knowing which features are missing for you in KDE 4.4. My goal is only to improve KDE 4 to fit your needs, not to try to convince you, so if you just let me know what is missing, not working right, or not intuitive in KDE 4 I will help get it fixed.
I laud your activity. Mine doesn't permit that much time to be devoted to KDE4 per se. My routine work is done in OS/2 (extensive email, DOS database, text & image editing, web searches) and openSUSE 11.0/KDE3 (file & web hosting, web site testing, web data lookups, IRC). My ad hoc testing of devel versions of Linux operating systems has gotten more complex in the past couple of years due to some major paradigm changes overpowering the more subtle evolution that preceded it: smbfs->cifs, ide->libata, KDE3->KDE4, xrandr/autodetect, DPI forcing to 96 or not, kms, sysvinit replacement, & Grub2. Thus it's hard to get specific about KDE4. Things that come to mind I think have all been covered here and/or on *@kde.org lists, but here's a non-exhaustive list of things that come to mind (which mary or may not be working/available in KDE3):
1-repeatable sizing of panel height (impossible via KDE4 drag; easy in KDE3 via KControl)
2-manual hiding of panel
3-default panel height and icon size are not auto adjusted larger for higher DPIs
4-mc missing from Konsole menu
5-mc doesn't automatically restart when left open in Konsole on logging out
6-file pickers stink compared to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104501#c2
7-various windows do not reopen to size at last closing
8-tree view for "systemsettings" is neither default nor a traditional tree view
9-YaST -> _system_ settings; personal settings -> personal desktop config settings
10-all of panel should be configurable via personal desktop config settings (similar to KDE3)
11-plasma - I can't logically associate my understanding of the word's natural meaning with what it applies to in KDE4 (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plasma 1, 2, 5)
12-akonadi - overhead that that cannot be turned off even though I use nothing that depends on it (Mozillas for web; mc for file management & searching; OS/2 for contacts)
13-distinction between general and advanced classification of objects in systemsettings is difficult to ascertain
14-keyboard/mouse seems more like "look & feel" (personal) than "computer administration" (YaST)
15-why are "input actions" and "keyboard & mouse" two separate things? Seems like they should either be 3 things or 1 thing.
