That was one of questions that I can't find answer.
If you are unhappy, there is quite a few desktops around.
Sorry, you lost me there...
Not very precise use of direct talk. It should be better: If someone is unhappy with one desktop there is a quite a few alternatives. I didn't comment your choice of desktop, but in general whole discussion about KDE. There is choice that KDE developers made and that is what is their right. They don't work for money, and sinking popularity doesn't affect them at all. For them, it was too late to go back first time we learned about KDE4 existence. Our right is to use, give comment, even repeat comment and if they don't listen to switch elsewhere. For those that have business that depends on KDE3, it is their responsibility to find the way out. I can understand their pain, but I don't feel a bit of it. Having free ride is fine, but not having plan B is not good. Talking about this comes in mind recent discussion on offtopic-list, where was mentioned monoculture (wikipedia). The future of KDE vs. GNOME is probably on KDE side. In few months they will have nice maintenable desktop environment, while GNOME at that time will start thinking how to do what KDE did now. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
