Thanks, Iliya, for bringing this up. I think that this is the source of frustration for most KDE 3 users: KDE 4 is not KDE 3. KDE 3 was a great desktop, KDE 4 is just an average desktop. It was buggy and feature-incomplete for the first three minor number versions. But the KDE devs really do want to fix the outstanding issues. Let me know what they are.
Things like Konsole no longer letting you specify the size in characters. It is holding character apps, not raster apps. So it did make sense to specify the size in that manner. (--vt_size)
Or Konsole no longer having an option to keep the window after the application running in it ends. (--noclose)
To name a few. Konsole is not just for holding bash...
+1 Because I want Konsole3 behavior in Konsole4, I was told "create a theme". Well, all I know about themes is they aggravate me. Where I've stumbled onto how to disable themes, I've disabled them (KDM). Where I've stumbled onto how to revert to upstream themes, I've done that (Firefox). I typically exit a KDE3 session with 3 Konsole tabs open, one holding top, two holding MC, two with plain bash. The MC sessions were originated by opening Konsole's main menu, which no longer has MC in it. Lord only knows how or if a mere mortal KDE3 user could figure out how to replicate this after an "upgrade" to KDE4 thrust upon him for no other reason than he needed newer versions of kernel &/or non-DTE apps like the Geckos, Google apps or OO.org, or because his old hardware gave up & needed replacing with whatever new hardware's actually available on short notice. Anyone remember how long OS/2 has been dead? ;-) For those unaware, it still isn't dead. Long live OS/2 (released as eComstation v2.0 less than 8 weeks ago). KDE3 is dead (not). Long live KDE3. AFAICT, it wasn't and isn't broke for me, just a bigger pain to install when upgrade or replacement is forced. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
