No, else I would've said that ;) But I often try new styles that show up
in Debian unstable and from time to time seek on the kde-sites for
styles and try those out.

I do agree that the repaint-while-dragging is nicer, but it's also
slower eventually and the reason simplified doesn't have this is because
simplified doesn't try too many tricks for the ideal mode.

Aah, well I find the things in kmdi-ideal harder to get, i.e. I need to
"focus" to find properly click-hold them. Anyway that's just me having
bad eyes ;)

I have been, but it's some time ago and as I don't have any problems
with simple-ideal I never switched back... I think the most annoying bug
got fixed sometime, I don't remember which one that was - it had to do
with kmdi interferring with kwin...
