As well, KDE's track record on this is not exactly stellar. KDE4 was basically unusable up until 4.3 or so.
I'd dispute that. I've used KDE 4 since it came out and never had major problems with it (other than completely missing the point of the whole Activities stuff, easily solved by ignoring it). The chest-beating about the supposed disaster that was KDE 4 always seemed to me somewhat over the top, but YMMV.
In addition to that, the initial KDE4.0 was nowhere near as terrible as Gnome3.0 was and Gnome 3.2 still is. It had a proper shutdown button in the menu, to begin with. And the windows could be minimized. And you could see all active applications listed in the taskbar. And... well, you get the picture... ;-)
Best, :-) Marko
All (more or less) are possible if you run Gnome3.2 in failsafe mode. Shutdown for example is on the menu under the user name as it should be :-`
