I wasn't expecting that you would, which is why I mentioned it? It
wasn't meant to be associated with the response beneath it. Rather, as I
believe it is new to 4.2, I was trying to helpfully inform you of a
change you might be interested to know about.
(And, no, I don't know if any distro is shipping 4.2-beta.)

Have you not found the configuration dialog? (It's on the desktop
right-click menu, which, as that seems to be where it is on every DE
I've used, doesn't strike me as hard to find.) I found it odd that you
seemed to be complaining about the implementation while knowing very
little about it, such as that you can use different themes.

I was recently amused by issuing 'rm -rf $KDEDIR'... from Konsole, while
in a KDE session. And nothing bad happened whatsoever. Try THAT on
Windows :-D.
