ummm this is not a good news.
And, before to release fedora 9, noone used KDE 4 and noone says that
it's buggy?
Unbelievable

I known that Kde 4 is very different from kde3, but I'm expecting that
something like an upgrade (kde3 -> kde4 or fedora 8-> fedora 9) should
care of this difference.

Well, but for one that works with a computer, the transition have to be
as short as possible (minutes, or hours and not days and days).

Tnx for reply
