I guess that the Fedora KDE team has to work within the code provided by
the KDE developers and KDE4 is very much in development right now.
I too find that the current state of KDE4 is far from ideal, and
functionality currently is way behind what I have been used to KDE3.5 in
F8. However I think it has been stated a number of times that a really good
level of KDE4 user provision is not really anticipated until version 4.1
which is not due until around July IIRC.
I guess the best approach for people testing KDE4 would be to file bugs
at
http://bugs.kde.org/
and hope that things get fixed upstream which will make the lives of the
Fedora KDE developers a whole lot easier.
Many things will be already work in progress, but doing that does tell them
which things the users find most urgently in need of fixing :-)
Having said that things have improved quite a bit with recent
rawhide
rpms for KDE though there is clearly still a lot to get working properly.
This does worry me somewhat in that when F9 is released then users new
to KDE might not be particularly impressed with it, even though
potentially KDE4 could be made to work beautifully once development gets
through version 4.1 and into 4.2 ... other may feel differently of course!
Agreed. I feel I'm going to have to say 'give it a chance' quite a lot of
times. OTOH, it's perfectly possible to either use the 'Classic' menu or
even to have both. I use both so that I can keep an eye on what's happening
to dolphin, but still use Classic if I need to find something in a hurry.
