Since this thread is receiving lots of replies.  Here's mine.  

I am a loyal KDE/Gnome user.  I use both.  I don't really prefer one over the other except when one does not work, that is the case on one machine I have at home.  Gnome works, KDE does not.  Then alright Gnome you are the one on that machine.

But I have kept quiet and I am really really really really .... (really)^n 

lim           (really_dissapointed)^n
n -> \infty

with the digital clock in KDE 4.X where X is a number 1.Y, 2.Z where Y and Z are integers in KDE releasees.

I really would have appreciated the old nice trustworthy (beautiful) old KDE 3.5.X series clock.  The new clock is OK, but nowhere likablitiy like the old one.  

I know that is very little thing to be dissapointed about, but I thought that they(KDE developers) would care to put back a nice old fashioned digital clock that was there before, but it has not happened :(

Other than that, things are really looking very GOOOOOOOOOOO.....D and if it were not for that complain, I would be much much much happier.

I know nobody cares, but anyway I mention it and hope others feel the same way, I know of many that said f* kde and switched to Gnome/xfce/Lxde, but that is something elese :)

Regards,

Antonio
