Public bug reported: I know that plasma-netbook was designed to be used in netbook computers, but the reality is that it is buggy, less responsive than plasma-desktop and in my personal experience, nobody likes it. I own a 10 inches Asus EeePC netbook with a 1024x600 native resolution and it is very functional using plasma-desktop in it. I'd understand that you want to use some specific configuration for Kubuntu where it is used in a netbook with small screen, but please do it with plasma-desktop, because people who install Kubuntu and find that it is starting with plasma-netbook by default, get a bad first impression about Kubuntu and many people abandon it before to discover the possibility to activate the plasma-desktop mode. Note also that any other distribution has decided to use plasma-netbook by default.
This is a wishlist bug.
