GEEZ! Everyone getting their knickers in a knot of KDE4. If everyone had 
followed the list threads for just about any Linux distro you can 
imagine you would have had endless threads about KDE4 starting about 
December last year. It was pretty much admitted/accepted that KDE4 was 
rushed into release before it was REALLY ready because of several major 
distro's major release cycles.

OK, KDE4 is not complete/finished. It is at best an "RC" release and at 
worst a late beta at this point. That's one of the reasons that a 
"STANDARD" install/upgrade of Kubuntu uses KDE3.5.9. If you CHOSE to 
install KDE4 you should consider yourself a "beta tester" and quit 
whining about it.

Most of the smart people held off on KDE4 until at least KDE4.1.
