While I have full respect for this decision I am another example of one that looses his desktop... Actually, I'm not really using KDE3, but rather xfce but with the apps from KDE3 like konsole, kwrite, ksnapshot and a few others that I failed to see any good replacements for. And security, well, not sure if this is that important for a desktop? At least we're warned. And KDE4 is not an alternative, tried several times but gave up. Just my two öre. //per
