CentOS-5.2 has 3.5 KDE, I presume the underlying RHEL will be around for 
the usual years.

I have the impression that for some users it will never be suitable, 
because it is not an issue of bugs in the code, or missing features 
which will be added, but a change in the underlying philosophy of how 
users should use the desktop. And if the deliberate change doesn't suit 
your preferred operation, you're in the market for either KDElegacy.org 
or a totally new WM and utils.
