Take a deep breath Kevin. You did the right thing. This is almost like a
troll convention around here. ;-)
It has already been said, several times, that it is possible to do almost
everything in KDE4 that was done in KDE3, but some things have to be done
differently. Yes, the difference in icons on the desktop is something of an
annoyance, but it takes little effort to work around it.
As for not giving F9 to naive users because of this, who in their senses would
give the first version of anything to naive users if there is a usable
alternative. Keep them on F8 for now, but for heavens sake help fix any
problems instead of this incessant whining.
