--- Comment #34 from Kornel Jankowski <k3rn...@gmail.com> ---
I think Mr. Ruffalo's main point was how badly that makes KDEPlasma look, even
though we know how much work was put into it. 

And he is right, because an average user won't look at the bug tracker to see
if someone's attending such an issue, but just say "Ugh, this is ugly, give me
my windows back." - And they would be right, because a wallpaper is a really
basic UX thing, it shouldn't be rocket science in a DE like this.

It is hard for an average user to understand what kind and how much work was
put into KDE, and they won't even try if their wallpaper will look as they
spilled something on it.

And this is one of a few reasons (there were a few other similar unsolved
issues like this) I myself got back to using KDE4. How does thinking how
beautiful an engine runs things help me, when I can't connect a monitor without
crashing Plasma and my wallpaper is blurred to a point where I start checking
if my glasses are still alright?

And it's, i think, a valuable point to make here, what Mr. was also trying to
put through, if I got him right, is that maybe there should be some better
prioritization of work:  For it's really hard to appreciate a car when it has
an ugly, rusty body that puts everyone off, even if the insides are Ferrari.
Especially when it seems that this little paint job shouldn't be such a great
strain to someone who knows the proper KDE insides.
