Aaron, there is a lot of stuff that needs to go away, by
default. Please find some beginner level user, preferably also a
slow learner or a person of high age. Give them KDE 3, for the
first time, and the observe. There is simply to much stuff, and
to much action, and there are a lot of meaningless words.

You can reason about that - it does not help. Observation helps
to understand.
