No - that is the problem!! I loved KDE 3.5.x and have become quite slick with it. KDE 4 is different. I don't like it. If I have to, in effect, change DE, and go through the learning curve again, there is no reason why it would have to be to KDE 4. When the time comes that I cannot sensibly go on using KDE 3, I shall chose where I go next on the basis of what the options are looking like at the time. I can see little liklihood that that choice will be KDE 4. I may even switch to a window manager without a DE, and chose other ways of working, if that is the only way that I can avoid the glitz that is now all the rage. How things look is very important to me. I have problems with my eyes, and how a thing looks can influence whether I can work on a thing for one minute, ten minutes or an hour. I have no problem with other people liking and wanting to use KDE 4. I have a problem with their, in some cases, not allowing me the freedom _not_ to use it. And I personally shall mourn the passing of KDE 3. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
