Yes, but IMHO now it is more annoyed for common users than it could be if the 
option dissapear for users who use it.

Anyway you are right, deleting options shouldn't be the way.

It sounds really interesting  ;)

But in this day and age of virtual folders, task oriented software, etc... Gtk 
apps still allow the same possibilities of Windows 95 (no ioslaves, no  
embedded parts... nothing), so I hope that this great new concept of a 
modern "desktop" would be "approved" in Freedesktop.org in order to "force" 
Gtk apps to support it. If not, what will occur when the user downloads a 
file with Firefox? is there any solution planed for that in KDE4?


Regards and thanks for any explanation.


PD: Is there any place about that desktop concept in KDE4 you speak about? is 
it related to "Plasma"? I'd like to read about it ;)
