So... let me get this straight. Right-clicking on the desktop NO LONGER gives
me the option to "configure the desktop"?

???

!!!

"Add a widget", which I don't even WANT on the desktop IS included in the
context-sensitive menu for the desktop, but "Configure Desktop"
isn't?!?!?!?!?!?!

How counter-intuitive is that?

But no, rotating icons and widgets somehow got to the top of the list of
"improvements" to make to the desktop manager, but "Configure Desktop" in the
context-sensitive menu for the... DESKTOP... didn't get any of your attention?

What bugs me is that you actually had to TAKE IT OUT for that bit of
functionality to go away. You could have just left it alone, and it wouldn't
have bothered anyone.

I resent it. Now I have to go on a menu hunt in the kicker menu (because I
absolutely won't use kickoff for anything) to CHANGE MY FREAKING SCREENSAVER.

How did taking out "Configure Desktop" from the context-sensitive menu for the
Desktop make KDE4 better?

Well, the short answer is that it didn't. You INTENTIONALLY made it more
difficult to configure the desktop.

Do you even know what the phrase "context-sensitive menu" means?

P.S.

How do I remove that goddamned cashew from the desktop? If I wanted a Windows
Sidebar... I'd install WINDOWS!

I just wasted six hours installing PCLOS on my computer, and then installing
KDE4.3 on it, to find out that you've gone to great effort to make the desktop
manager LESS intuitive. And on top of that, I've wasted another half hour going
through this bugzilla crap, so I could post a "wish" that you put something
back into the desktop manager that you had no business removing from it in the
first place!

It's six o'clock in the freaking morning, and I'm supremely pissed.

I can't stand gnome, and since THIS is the best that KDE has to offer, when I
wake up later on today, I'm going to spend the rest of the day transferring my
data to an NTFS partition, and then installing Windows back on my computer.

Screw you for wasting my time.

One last thing... why do I need to rotate an icon?

Are you honestly going to try and convince me that you were getting a lot of
requests for this "feature"?
