Because it would be more than a little while longer. Every day spent maintaining KDE3 is a day lost to KDE4, the priority was to get KDE4 stable and usable, KDE3 was fine as it was. The other answers is "they didn't want to". KDE developers are either volunteers, doing what they want because they can, and what they want is working on neat stuff for the next release, not old code that is close to EOL. Or they are employed by the likes of distro makers, who also want the latest stuff for their products. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 003: Dynamic linking error - Your mistake is now in every file
