First of all Sven, I would like to know who appointed you as the authority on KDE3 vs KDE4? You seem to be the bully-boy for KDE4. Do you work for Novell? or anyone else that has an interest in promoting KDE4?.or just some opinionated guy with a talent for espousing words?
It's all in your head!
Won't answer a direct question will you?

I have the latest stuff on the Laptop 11.2MS6 plus about 860Mb of updates last night and STILL the whole desktop thing is a PITA i tried the activities thihg again last night to the effect my original desktop just got screwed and wound up with god knows how many excuses that in effecf were all the same change on it happens on them ALL ..
Tell you what put activities in the waste bin and get back to the RIGHT way the way it was in KDE3 of one virtual desktop could have a wallpaper the next one could have a totally diferent wall paper and so on put activities where they cause the designer the maximum pain (as they do for most people that try them) because at the moment that is about their only value
And as for the first 2 lines of your reply yes that is the correct answer he IS just that
