Ok, maybe its because I started with kde 3.5 a few years ago but kde was never so unstable as with >> 3) Screen-setup: I have to monitores connected to my pc static in xorg >> as two seperated displays :0.0 and :0.1.

No, because I can't use randr as randr doesn't supports my setup at all. I had to deactivate randr-support in catalyst-drivers to get it working. With randr only stupid bigscreen is possible. This is the reason why I still stick with the closed driver, the open ones only support xrandr. > but you know that you can make the plasma bar very small - and add a couple > of > them to the desktop? Yes I know. But then many things aren't useable anymore because scaling of the icons freaks out here if it gets to small. > I haven't found anything missing in k3b or amarok - and I don't use kdevelop > or kvirc. What are you missing from k3b? k3b is one of the programms that is rather complete but still in late alpha state. Even the ebuild has alpha in its name. And amarok is missing so much. 1) the collection-scanner is broken. Only approx. 400 songs are added to the collection. I have over 10000 songs on my pc. 2) Support for generic mp3-players doesn't exist or needs workarounds (in live-builds atm) 3) Not really a mising feature but amarok 2 looks like crap. I like the way 1.4 looks and hate that amarok 2 forces me to learn everything new. But forcing users to learn new ways to do old things its all that is kde4. I hate it if i get forced to do something. >> The last reason I stick with kde 3.5.10 for a while is that working with >> kde 4.x just doesn't feel right.

Maybe because people like it the way it is. I switched to linux because I really like the freedom to choose what I want to do with my computer. But more and more linux becomes like windows in the way that it forces the user to adapt to the system. Yes I can switch the DE if i dislike kde4 but in a few month or maybe a year there is no way around randr and then I have to stick with old kernel, old driver and old X or be forced to adapt to the way some people think whats best for all of us.
