I think you really don't understand a basic point, here - KDE 4 is not an evolution of KDE from 3, it's a fairly radical re-write of much of the code from the ground up. The point being, they didn't start with KDE 3.5 and 'evolve' the code to 4; nothing was taken out of anything, because they pretty much started afresh. There are a fair number of sites out there which try to explain the reasons for this - essentially, the old code-base had built- in architectural constraints (think fitting a turbo charged Ferrari race engine into a Model-T chassis). Many features that were missing in 4.0 are returning in 4.1, but some will never return because the underlying paradigm is very different, and there's a new way of doing old things based on a whole new way of thinking... -- Claude Jones Levit & James, Inc.
