A lot of funcionality from KDE 3 no longer works in KDE 4. The
likelihood is that it will eventually come back, or be replaced by
something better.

I could say exactly the same about any number of other things that don't
work right, e.g. desktop switching, the kicker panel (or whatever it's
called now), the Display settings widget, the desktop browser widget,
the clock, the "lock screen" function, etc. etc. The fact is that these
things are still flaky and I expect them to improve. If you have strong
feelings about the superuser console, which you seem to have, you should
tell the people who have somthing to do with it.
