Hey Ryan, Thanks for the reply.
Specifically, the things that are bugging me right now are:

A: I use PANELS on dual monitors. Lower AND upper panels on both. In
3.x, I could position a icon on the panel EXACTLY where I wanted it it.
4.x appears to stack them against each other and that SUCKS for grouping
stuff.

B. I had a "widget" that gave me a bunch of terminal options like LINUX,
ROOT, etc. That tool appears to no longer be available AND its apparent
replacement, "Konsole profiles" blows chunks. If you out it in a panel
it takes up all the open space across the whole panel.


C: along those lines, it used to be easy to create a icon on the
desktop, then just drag it to a panel. NO CAN DO anymore.

I STILL cannot figure out what good "DESKTOP" view is, as opposed to
FOLDER view, which is closer to what I expect. WHAT GOOD IS IT???


Guys, I gotta say: If I didn't know any better, I would SWEAR a M$
person got on the dev team and is trying to hose KDE. I MEAN IT. It is
THAT bad, to me.
