Hi!

To start with: mails with showstopper in the subject near the release date
are normal. I appreciate each and everyone caring for the release quality,
but I would like everyone to remind on the meaning of the word:

From http://www.wordreference.com/definition/show-stopper
A  noun
  1   show-stopper, showstopper, stopper
      an act so striking or impressive that the show must be delayed until the audience 
     quiets down 
  2   show-stopper, showstopper
     something that is strikingly attractive or has great popular appeal; 
    "she has a show-stopper of a smile"; "the brilliant orange flowers against the green foliage 
      were a showstopper"

So it's in general a good thing. Keep that in mind if you read showstopper mails.

... if you have a lot of them - not affecting most users aka no show stopper.

Ah, wishlist items reported before KDE 3.2 are KDE 3.4 show stoppers? Sorry,
I have to disappoint you here. Especially as kuick is an addon you can deinstall
easily without loosing anything else but kuick's functionality.

You name it.

Well, usability problems of that class are per se no show stopper.

There will be releases after this one.
