I think Kubuntu developers monitor this list.  As someone said Dolphin KDE 3 
is a Kubuntu decision, not an upstream KDE one.  Also, forcing the 
work-in-progress KDE 4 on Kubuntu 8.10 is a Kubuntu decision, not KDE.

I have decided to opt for continuing KDE 3 until KDE 4 is ready.  I am 
experimenting with Debian Lenny, as it will support KDE 3 for 3 years after 
Etch is released, about 4 more years projected.  Once I get comfortable, my 
Kubuntu box will become my experimental one, and Lenny for production.

I don't understand why the Debian developers can continue to support KDE 3, 
but the Kubuntu developers cannot.  This is the reason why Ubuntu 8.04 is 
LTS, but Kubuntu 8.04 is not.  I understand that the Kubuntu team has blamed 
it on loss of upstream KDE support, but for some reason, Debian does not have 
a problem with this.

The impression I get is that the Kubuntu team is targeting hobbyists and home 
users and not business users.  Too bad.  If that is true, Kubuntu will never 
be taken seriously.  I assume that is why OEMs, like Dell, are installing 
Ubuntu, but not Kubuntu.

True, but it may get you help from someone who can, but is too offended to 
offer.
