From what I've seen of functional with KDE4, it's not a simple story of eye's candies, fonts sizes and window decorations. KMail, Kate and other applications do not work the same way. And during my tests, I have not seen gateway to move from one version of sofware / desktop to another. I felt very bad when I read the dictates of a so-called "windows manager expert" on the trinity-devel-help list. I see sadly that his tone had effects. I already felt abandoned by KDE / OSS, and that's why I like the Trinity project so much, I am just afraid of being abandoned again... and hope that I'm wrong. My words may shock, but I write them because I know today, that I was not alone in having felt what I felt for KDE4. Patrick
