Eli, In answer to your original question , there have been a bucket load of things fixed in 4.1b. Unfortunately they don't seem to be the things that are important for you. That isn't to say they aren't important. They are just not things that have been addressed by the limited developer resources that are currently available. The developers do their best to release quality code for their projects ( I think there are currently around 2-3 people in the konqueror team). KDE isn't like a corporate entity, most of the developers are either hacking in their spare time or paid by a company to work on specific elements of KDE . KDE as a community doesn't assign people to projects and they can't , KDE is a community centered around a desktop that we are collectively trying to make better. I think it's great that you have taken the time to file the bug reports .It's a great first step and I like that you are passionate about getting them fixed. It's only half the battle though. Actually fixing issues (ones that can / should be fixed ) is down to those who are willing and able to dive into the code. Currently those 2 - 3 people that are diving into the code are working very hard, as are the rest of the devs , translators, doc team etc.. Sometimes, you just need to have patience. If that means that you have to use KDE 3.5 for a while, or XFCE , or GNOME then thats fine. KDE is what it is and if it's not right for you at the moment it. I waited til 4.2.3 in order for it to be usable for me. It works for me on my laptop but on my desktop the Xorg drivers aren't quite there yet in order for me to use it. I can only suggest trying it out every few months to to see if it fits your needs better. Hopefully it will. Andrew
