While the OP was over the top,
there are a surprising (to me) number of minor problems
with KDE-4 under Fedora-9.
I'm a little surprised, too, that they haven't been
sorted out sooner.
Examples: 1) "Stickiness" of applications in the panel.
When I click normally on eg my Firefox icon, nothing happens (usually).
I have to hold down the button for a second,
and sometimes I have to click a second time.
That used to be a problem on my Fedora box, but isn't, any longer. Now I
usually get an immediate response.
2) KNotify crashes when I shut down.
(This has been in bugzilla for ages.)
I'm still seeing that one. It's annoying, but not a show-stopper.
3) Sometimes I get a "ghost" image on the screen in one of
my desktops,
which won't go away.
This doesn't actually matter, as I can open a window on top of it.
Haven't seen that one.
In spite of these minor problems, I like KDE-4
and would not revert to KDE-3 even if I could.
Maybe the Fedora/KDE team could try to sort out problems a little faster?
Maybe they can't. Some problems can't be fixed until we get 4.1. On the
whole, though, I agree with you. It took a little getting used to, but I do
like it. I'll put up with its shortcomings while it is 4.0. 4.1 is only a
few weeks away.
