We are quite a number of KDE 3 users that believe your "dead end" was/is "the best". I've come to discover the bad side of FOSS: if KDE was a commercial product, perhaps knowing that some users are unsatisfied would/could drive the developers to listen to them. What you are saying is the same Anne was telling me before: you did not pay for it, you have nothing to say, just be happy with whatever you get for free... I think I'm going to take a look at non free software because if OSS devs develop only for themselves, maybe I have more luck with devs that work for their users... I can tell you that if anyone keeps KDE 3 alive, I'll be glad to pay for it! Since I've started testing KDE 4 very little of the issues I had have been addressed. Part of them are exactly Istvan's. But your answer explains it all: jump on the KDE 4 train or go your way, we have no interrest in what you think and any comment that is not supporting KDE 4 is "FUD" :( And Anne, don't come again with your favorite "If you have a specific question will try to help you". As Istvan said, we want KDE 3 functionalities back, since none of the new functionalities of KDE 4 enhance our use of the desktop, we don't want workaround that let you do a complicated way what you used to be able to do the simple way.
