I assume that comment is directed specifically about my last point - so 
in this case (and _only_ this case), I have to blame the customer.  He 
was complaining that Dolphin wasn't as good as Konqueror - well I still 
never use Dolphin directly.  I _use_ konqueror, and get all the 
functionality of Dolphin thrown in in the dolphin part, so it appears 
that at least in part he's throwing up a red herring.  

I do agree that in the main, Kubuntu 8.10 is a vast failure of 
marketing.
