Guys, for god's sake, this thread is really starting to walk on my nerves.
Have you guys ever tried 4.2 beta 2? And plus, if you love evolution, why not
just use gnome. KMail in my opinion is way better and easier to configure that
evolution and kde apps just make sense, and that is why I chose KDE.
I use KDE from official repos for Fedora 9.
I don't have time to install and test the 4.2beta2 version, because I
don't have skills to do it.
I don't work very well with desktops.
I prefere KDE only because I ever used it. Maybe I will like Gnome if I
will start to use it.

Changing from kde3 to kde4 maybe could be the right moment to switch to
gnome, because kde4 is very different from the kde3 but I will stay on
KDE.

If I love evolution can I use it on KDE? I used it on KDE for years, why
I have to switch to gnome now?

And if I love gimp, I have to switch to gnome?
And if after I love ktorrent or sone k* I have to switch to KDE?

So, it's better to have 2 desktop session and switch from one to the
other simply clicking ctrl-alt-F6 and clicking ctrl-alt-F7 for example?
I don't understand this approach... I like linux because it permit me to
choise between desktops, between application.
Now I think that this is not so true like in the past.

Plus, it's very good if you guys appreciate the work of KDE devs. They have
*re-written* most of KDE, and with great change comes great problems. Use it,
love it, adore it, and report it, and help it. :)
If you don't have coding skills, help with the artwork, bug reports,
documentation, etc. etc. and if you do have coding skills, fix the bugs. It's
that easy!
I'm involved in some other QA on the open source, so I know that this is
a good approach to the problem, but before to open a bug I will know if
I'm the only one that has the problem, or is a choice.

On top of all, I can do things now that I have never been able to do in KDE
3.x.
That's true, but you can't do things that you done in the past

Happy new year :)
Happy new year to you too

Bye
Ambrogio
