Again: Konqueror is still there, Dolphin is the default not because of some proclamation from on high, but because there were many users who voiced concerns over Konqueror's complexity. Also, the window compositing is *off* by default and even if your distribution has changed that, you can turn it off very easily. > One thing I have noticed about good computer stuff, hard and soft, is that > when I dip a toe in just to see what its like, I rarely go back to what I > had used before, no matter how comfortable and familiar.

The 4.0 is NOT ready for most users, keep that in mind. I myself will be using 3.5.8 as my desktop until the 4.1 release, which will be able to supplant 3.5. It's just like how the Linux kernel 2.6.0 release was definitely not something you would want to run on your machine, but was a necessary step to get to where we are today. Attachment:
