Essentially, I agree with your observations, Anne. It's unfortunate that 
existing KDE3 bugs are simply being ignored because all the effort is going 
into KDE4, much of which isn't ready to replace KDE3 yet. I'm going to keep 
KDE3 as long as possible - at least until KDE 4.3 judging by how much work is 
yet to be done.
