To date no one has given a justifiable reason for the 180 on the desktop. I still do not know why I can\'t put icons on the desktop proper as well as \"containers\". It would be a vast improvement if KDE would simply splice both the good features of the KDE 3.x series with the new ideas in KDE 4.x series. Right now KDE is re-inventing the wheel. If you look at both Windows 3.1 and KDE 4.x they are almost identical in their approach. Probably what ticks me off more than KDE was the force fed diet of KDE 4.0 by the Fedora Project. Indeed Fedora has gone in the wrong direction by putting stuff not ready for prime time and making it the \"default\". More than anything else their rather hasty decisions have prejudiced me against potentially good technologies, such as KDE 4.x. into their distro. To be sure KDE still has a lot of work to do to bring it up to the quality of the KDE 3.5 series. But at the end of the day the user is left with an sub-par GUI that is almost identical to Windows 3.1, though M$ did it better. Fair is fair we have to wait till all the apps are \"converted\" to the \"new\" system of KDE 4.x which differs little from Windows 3.1. we understand that. The question is WHY when we already had an excellent desktop with KDE 3.5x. If something is not broke why \"fix\" it? To be sure Windows 3.1 -- and KDE 4.x -- had/have good idea using \"containers\" -- or whatever you want to call them, but it is the exact same idea. KDE 3.x also had good ideas that have been trashed to make room for the \"innovative\" -- NOT!!! -- ideas of KDE 4.x. It would be wonderful to see a marriage of both the standard desktop of the KDE 3.x series with the \"container\" ideas of the KDE 4.x aka Windows 3.1, series. In the current format -- KDE 4.2 -- It is still way too confusing to use: lost containers, lost locations, etc, etc, etc., still KDE 4.2 is a VAST improvement over KDE 4.0. Please do us all a favor  and shoot -- metaphorically speaking -- the project manager of the FEDORA PROJECT: More than anything, or any one, else he did more damage to your project could have. He is single handedly destroying an excellent distro by incorporating a bunch of crapware and making it the default. I\'ll be looking forward to KDE 4.3, and all future versions of KDE 4.x I most sincerely hope that it will someday reach the quality of the KDE 3.5x series. The marriage of the standard desktop along with the \"container\" ideas of KDE 4.x would go a long ways to creating a universal and flexible desktop that the USER can set up to THEIR desire. I sincerely hope that will be one of your incorporated improvements in future releases of the KDE 4.x series.           \x3c/div\x3e\n  \x3c/div\x3e\n\n  \x3c/div\x3e\n" }
