Please tell me what is missing for you. I will address those that you mention below, and I would appreciate if you mention others that you think of.

Kate is as it was for the most part, other that the new search-replace dialogue (that I don't like) and VIM mode (that I love). Kopete has Skype integration (needs Skype installed, though). I really like having different folders shown on the desktop. Nothing really compelling, but then again KDE 3 did not have any one really compelling feature.

I _want_ to know what keeps you on KDE 3, so that I can get it fixed in KDE 4. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
