Thanks Allan, Dave, Isaac & Ty

	I'll pester the guys at kdemod. I keep pushing for KDE to embrace the concept
of "KDE Classic". We see how smart the Coke board was when it tried to replace
Coke with "New Coke". In less than two weeks the board bowed to consumer demand
and rather than loosing market share, brought back Coke as Coke Classic. If KDE
had any brains it would do the same thing. Like it or not k4 is still in beta
stage with little direction and little guidance in what it will ultimately look
like or how it will behave.

	I have been using KDE4 for about 1 years now since the kde4.3 beta phase and I
like the desktop, but it is still very difficult to get things done on it. If I
need to work, I use kde3 or flux or enlightenment. If I want to write bug
reports endlessly or check the latest bling, I'll use kde4.

	But there is still no Quanta, etc.. in kde4 and simple things like trying to
have konqueror "back up" and remember what file it was on in the parent
directory just annoy the Sh17 out of me...
