a) I didn't mean to start a KDE4.0 bashing session.  I am not asking for
a commentary on it.   Its installed on my computer and I suspect I am
not using it to its fullest potential and I want to.   How ?

b) "I don't like the new desktop icons either, but I just turned them
off. "  Do you mean you turned off the "collars" so that they look like
the icons did in KDE 3.5.9 ?   How ?

Thanks
