Sure, it's a matter of taste, and that's why every new feature can be 
switched off and why we give users the choice.

Did Charles write a patch for Windo Maker? This is about an idea for KDE, not 
about an improvement of WM.

again, a matter of taste. Maybe, you don't like it, I love it.

Hm. Yes, i think, it must be possible to switch back to exactly the "old" 
kicker, not to a "look a lot like". Maybe, one can realize this as a 
"kicker-style" ?

Because, Charles wants to improve kde. I think, it's the versatility, that 
makes KDE great. And this would be another nice option for the user.

Greetings, Carsten.
