desktop problems

Hello Landon,

1) You said 2 or 3 times you want to unsubscribe from this list. I think you
don't know how to unsubscribe. Here's how:
To unsubscribe from a mailing list please go the admin page of your
subscription, which in this case is
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/options/kde-quality
There you file in your email address and your mailing list subscription
password (not the password of your mail account!!!) and then you press
unsubscribe.

2) I feel sorry for KDE not working out for you, but you see - KDE 4.1 is a
young beast and both it and its users need to learn more about each other.
There may also be packaging bugs from your distribution (Fedora, as I
recall).

3) As for reporting bugs: "After making an exhaustive bug report, some wise
person comes back and says:..."
We know reporting bugs the 'right way' is hard - it is for most free
software projects - but that's how life is! Someone needs to bear the burden
of filling in bugs, and we don't have paid staff in a call center who
receives bugs, categorize them and then files them in. Also please consider
that bugs that are not reported correctly are useless to developers and they
will not be fixed.

Bye,
Bogdan
