Why does this KDE4 version of Konsole not have search and history save capabilities, like the KDE 3.5 version did? I have all these desktop Icons in KDE3.5 that invoke, size, and color Konsole windows when invoked by Icons. Am I going to have to rebuild them using Gnome Terminal?
Why in KDE4 can I not create desktop icon launchers when logged in as root? I could do that in KDE 3.5, enabling me to configure the desktop of my other user accounts. Why is there no window-list applet in KDE4, like in KDE 3.5? You have a lot of cute useless applets that nobody needs or wants, and the vital one for many-desktop users in missing. I don't understand why you guys think KDE4 is better than KDE 3.5, and you can foist it on a user community with no backward compatibility? Its about functionality not cosmetics. You have foisted all this pretty plasma garbage on us but your functionality is marching backwards. I have been using KDE for 15 years, on Suse, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Centos. I first ran into KDE4 on Kubuntu 9.04, and found it bleeding-edge junk. So I went to Centos 5.5 which came with KDE 3.5. Now I just opened a new VPS with Centos 6.2, and you got me with your KDE4 junk again. Three years later and still no windows-list applet. Is there any wonder that there are over 200 balkanized strains of Linux? Here is the reason! All you creatively-addicted kids don't know when to stop changing things because you don't have to live with the consequences. Haven't you ever heard the adage: If it ain't broke don't fix it? You should take the lesson of Emacs, which I started using in 1986. Now it has become such an incomprehensible pile of shit, that it can only be used carefully in GUI mode. I think its menus were written by aliens. Nevertheless, I am still loyal to KDE, as I made the jump from Gnome when I moved from Unix to Linux long ago.
