 Yes, those changes. And it's not that moot. KDE3.4.x is now going to have a 
popup very different from both older versions and KWin's popup.

 For me, yes, and probably for many other people. Most of the entries in the 
top level actually don't make much sense for the average user.

 Ok. So how about reasons:
- I lost several Konqueror and Konsole windows within the last few weeks.
- Since the 'To current' entry doesn't make in Alt+F3, how about moving it in 
the taskbar popup to somewhere where I don't have to do so complicated 
aiming?
- Or, maybe even better: Since the current branch layout fails badly at both 
aims, how about making it either just like in 3.3.x or just like (*cough*) 
KWin's?
