Aaron: Actually I wanted to stay out of that since there's already enough harm done here. Please know that I deeply respect your work and am far from wanting to attack you. But I need to point out to you to reconsider if you should maybe rethink something. You said in your latest reply:

***
otherwise, just describe your paint point (what you expected, what actually happened, the difference, etc). leave out the editorials and don't offer suggestions on how to code your preferred solution.
***

Actually, I think this is exactly what the submitter of this bug did. But by saying "this is intentional" because it is intentional for the *default* containment, you took the discussion to the code architecture level. If you would just have said "this will be configurable in 4.2 by the means of changing the desktop containment but won't go away for the default containment because it is part of what it is all about" and left the report open I doubt that there would have been as much controversy around this. Maybe I'm wrong about this. But I feel the main point of the arguments were that people felt you were telling them that there will be no choice for them when many of us believe that KDE is all about choice. So maybe we should all learn from this bug: we, the submitters that we should trust in the coders' vision when they say something is intensional and you, the coder, that if you expect us to describe problems on a non-architecture level you should also explain solutions on a non-architecture level (and I believe on a non-architecture level this bug is NOT a WONTFIX). Ok, sorry for using this again for communication but I just had to add this. All the best, Tobias
