I understand, Rex and I'm certainly not implying its the rule.   

But what is extremely frustrating is that as soon as a KDE/Fedora
developer sees a display type issue and the driver is proprietary, they
refuse to work on it.  Nevermind that the bug could be in Qt, xorg or
something else. 

The other thing that bugs we is that we are constantly (since F10) in no
man's land.  Nouveau isn't finished and totally working yet. In fact,
Fedora people weren't keen about Linux merging it in 2.6.33 !  And yet
the KDE developers keep writing stuff that doesn't work with the
proprietary nvidia driver. 

If the Fedora/KDE community wants to force us to use nouveau then they
need to complete it, ie clean up all the bugs and build a GUI that
allows one to control it like nvidia has done.  I'd GLADLY use nouveau
then.

UNTIL then we have to realize we live in a TWO driver community.   Some
of use still need to use the proprietary nvidia driver.
