While the OP was over the top,
there are a surprising (to me) number of minor problems 
with KDE-4 under Fedora-9.

I'm a little surprised, too, that they haven't been
sorted out sooner.

Examples: 1) "Stickiness" of applications in the panel.
When I click normally on eg my Firefox icon, nothing happens (usually).
I have to hold down the button for a second,
and sometimes I have to click a second time.

2) KNotify crashes when I shut down.
(This has been in bugzilla for ages.)

3) Sometimes I get a "ghost" image on the screen in one of my desktops,
which won't go away.
This doesn't actually matter, as I can open a window on top of it.


In spite of these minor problems, I like KDE-4
and would not revert to KDE-3 even if I could.

Maybe the Fedora/KDE team could try to sort out problems a little faster?
