I think perhaps this is part of the issue - it was easier in KDE3 than it is this way, which is more complicated (ie, takes more steps). From a feedback standpoint, that seems a reasonable issue to raise to me.
I've heard similar feedback about Novell's iManager management tool - the old way was faster than the new way, so people kept using the old tool and not getting the benefits (like being supported) of using the new tool because the new tool was more complex than was necessary.
Not a direct analogue to this situation, but it seems that if this feedback were taken back to development as something to look at (ie, "how can we make it easier to do this task"), it seems like that might meet Bob's expectations.
Bob? Have I captured your issue well here? (I've not really followed the discussion from the beginning, just the last few messages in this subthread)
