Followup to let you know what I decided for myself - I have switched from KDE to Gnome. I tried, but KDE4 is just not ready today.
Switching was not without some discomfort and effort ... of note:
- I've been unable to add items to my desktop menu(s)
- Session save remains broken - still
- gdm configuration is scattered and peculiar (combination of /etc/gdm/ files, /etc/gconf, each users gconf, user gdm gconf) ... but it does work
- keyring management needs help - and getting gpg-agent and ssh-agent to work sanely took some scripting which now works perfectly for me.
- overall I am content at this point.
I know I am not the only person who has switched to Gnome. I will revisit this in the coming months and perhaps KDE can recover to be the functional, configurable, useful desktop it once was.
