Thank you for the level-headed reply, Duncan.  For some reason, people who 
have problems with KDE4 object to others saying that they don't.  It's 
unproductive.  As you say, we all have a right to an opinion - and if our 
experiences vary, is that surprising?

Please, everyone, do stop writing things that sound like personal attacks.  
One person has a problem, another doesn't.  Let's attack the problem, not the 
person.
