OT. This list has become "Neighbours, The Vollom Years".

But then I have no right to expect Steven to be other than Steven, and IMO, 
this is how he is and subsequently a large part of the list is about Steven 
and his problems, not technical issues as such, (did I mention this is my 
opinion only?).

With the functional mess that is KDE at present and the amount of noise now on 
this list, I'm departing, but decided I should let Steven know he is part of 
the reason.

This does not detract in any way from the help that I have received on this 
list, but with the current state of KDE, the loss of a great and *functional* 
file manager called konqueror, I've been pushed to try Gnome again and I'm 
swapping to it. I used to hate Nautilus, but it has actually become much more 
useful for me, despite it still not having a split view, but there are other 
Gnome file managers which can provide that when needed.

I'm saddened to leave KDE, I started to learn about Linux using KDE and its 
similarities to Windows were a blessing, but now, to release software that is 
barely functional but looks pretty, that is way too much like Windows! 
Discovering that the developers are working on a windows kde version don't 
help either!
