Lol calm down on getting yourself safe lol.

I have just tried KDE 4 for a few hours and it's still not stable
enough for me to use.
so don't worry that i'm gonna make a new vote on this ML to get the
original menu back because i won't do that when i'm not using it. Ask
me again when KDE 4 is stable enough to use and doesn't crash when you
set you desktop to folder mode and does indeed remember the setting
and... and... and... there is so much that feels unstable but it's
really looking wonderful already.

And f.y.i. there is no menu in existence that i like ^_^ i did saw a
few mockups but nothing resembles what i would like to see. Not even
vista's! the one in windows 7 is getting closer though but that's only
because the theme there fully fits the panel.

So this is a flame war?... then i don't understand why. it's just
expressing facts and opinion to a few that don't want to listen
anyway.

Just when i'm "calm down again" you come here and post that line.
i absolutely HATE those lines the most in the entire open source world!
i've seen that so many times.. "if you don't like it, make it
yourself! it's open so your free to do so" it's such a lame excuse of
YOU to get rid of me the fast way. Most people are not even capable of
making it! i am not but am going in that direction to make it. (for
the wise guys: i don't mean remaking gnome but learning c++ and
actually now struggling with QT).
