	I'm not sure that that is a universal truth. :-)  My personal reason for 
moving from KDE4 to Trinity was because of the additional "features" that 
were forced on me.  They excessively slowed down my machine, which is not a 
little entry-level one, making it frustrating to use.  One of the things that 
I like most about KDE in general (3 or 4) is the customizability of its 
look-and-feel.

	I wonder if OP's enhancements can be encapsulated in a separate theme?  Then 
those who like them can switch to that theme, while others can use the one 
they prefer.
