agreed. would you like me to list all the other features that need to be there 
that you didn't? because trust me, i have a much more comprehensive list of 
things.

i answered this in a previous mail in this thread.

this statement, smiley or not, puts a wall between you and me. after reading 
it i was pretty pissed off. i don't deserve that kind of statement, nor does it 
actually refelct reality. i don't want to deal with you like this.

now .... we're following a blueprint layed down for the last 2 years that is 
bringing you exactly what you want and that holds out the hope of preventing 
us becoming this generation's CDE.

rewriting a primary user interface from virtually scratch and trying to do it 
with maintanability, beauty, usability and innovation in mind isn't exactly a 
2 month project.

it's not "being in denial", but simple the time it takes to do things in such 
a way that we can achieve the goals on the table.

we can't add UI for this in 4.1 (freezes being what they are) but plasma will 
have a gui to switch your containment choices in 4.2.

or if you aren't using a desktop in the first place.
