Is KDE on Fedora really that bad?

I agree. I love KDE and find gnome boring, but it is little things like this 
that might KDE inferior on FC. The FC s develop nice scripts for 
hibernation/suspend (all the menu items in gnome do is run pm-hibernate and 
pm-suspend, as far as I can tell) but only bother to tie them into the gnome 
dsktop. How hard would it be to just add a few menu items to KDe as well. Not 
very.

Similarly for compiz, it works fine under gnome, they even made a menu item to 
activate it, but again didn't bother for KDE :(

Heres hoping stuff like this gets done better once KDE is in extras ?

cheers Chris
