Jesus, Marti,

  I couldn't have said it better myself. While we are at it, why don't we
html'ize all the desktops so they look like win10, devoid of any character,
just a whole desktop that looks like a bland rendered web-page, devoid of any
decoration and with apps that take 1/2 a screen to do what was done in 1/10
the space before (not just plasma), and while we are at that, let's bork the
indent and focus models and use a hodge-podge of open, save, save-as dialogs
with hit-or-miss kio functionality.

  I feel better -- thanks Marti :)
