The kicker have some nice features for me:

- Real transparent style without the need of a special theme
- The possibility to expand terminal sessions, system settings, last documents
and so on
- Better applets. My favorit here is "Schnellstarter" (perhaps in english it
is fast display browser) where i have 3 ones for special directories.
- I prefer to browse through menus instead of having minimal square
- And the last one is not important but i must say that the configuration
dialog of the new panel is a gui from the last century.

I think this all, and lot more, is a personal thing how you have used kde in
the past and i am sure that there be a lot of other users which like
this "plasma way". But i don't see any advantage for me at the moment but a
lot of disadvantages. Still again, this has nothing to do with the arch
packages at itselfs.

See you, Attila
