I am not aware of any lost of functionality. There are bugs, of course, as KDE 3.5 had (and as KDE SC 4.5 has). We cannot avoid bugs, they come "integrated by design" :-) > I think that I know how Lisi feels. > You know it's like first love, nothing can replace it. And I feel the > same way. I also know (sadly, very well) how Lisi feels. I was a KDE 3.5 user for almost all my linux life (7 years)... until KDE 4.0 came into scene. By that time, I had to make a choice: giving KDE 4.0 an opportunity or looking for other DE. I also was aware that KDE devels were not going to spend any resource of their time to continue improving the old branch (just grave bugzilla reports were to be fixed) and working with KDE 4.0 was a real pain so I finally switched to GNOME. I don't regret that decision and moreover, I won't return to KDE in a near future. But people who likes KDE has to understand that KDE 4.5 has nothing in common with KDE 4.0. If they like KDE, they should try it. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
