[mdlug] Bug finally fixed. Hehehe

[Michael Mikowski]

I have used KDE since pre 1.0, and am now using 4.2 (beta 2) and am quite impressed.  Most of the features I missed from 3.5.x in 4.1.3 are back, along with a bunch of new ones.  Stability seems very good -- I have yet to have any lock-up or even application crash since the upgrade 3 days ago.  Kwin now has most of the bling of Compiz + Metacity but appears more stable.  I don't know if it is too "windows like," I guess I don't use windows enough to know.  Seems more mac-like to me.

I say give Aaron Seigo a bit of credit for flexibility.  For example, you can now revert to "just like windows -- icons everywhere" desktop in KDE 4.2 if you want.   As I understand it, he did not want this, but bowed to popular demand.  So perhaps he is driven by ego, but at least
he is driven, works very hard, and provides excellent code for all
to use free of charge.  The world
could do with more like him, not fewer.

Cheers, Mike

Sad, but true.  KDE's current team leader, Aaron Seigo often
demonstrated little if any ability to choose properly between
doing the right thing, and self aggrandizement.  On more than
one occasion, he has bragged on his blog about REMOVING
functionality from the KDE code base -- and KDE users are told
to file bug reports to RETURN functionality which he and others
deliberately removed.

For these alone, Aaron Seigo needs to be beaten with a rather
thick clue-stick.

DAILY.
