Here's my other suggestion. If anyone here finds anything even *slightly* wrong/annoying in KDE 4.8, file bug reports at kde.org. This would include stupid design decisions like the greyscale task tray icons, which are very difficult to distinguish from one another at a glance.
I am sick and tired of "close enough" software on Linux, where the feeling of being pecked to death by ducks (i.e. having thousands of little tiny bugs or visual distractions) slows the user down tremendously, yet each little bug seems so innocuous that no one ever bothers to fix them. Guess what devs, you won't see those users complaining (not that you care anyway, right?) because they will simply go somewhere where their needs are met, such as Windows.
Oh, and if KDE closes the bug report as "WONTFIX", or moves the priority to enhancement/wishlist, please post a link to the bug report on the Etherpad I mentioned earlier.

I think I was banned 5 times from kde.org for doing that ... but that was a year (or 2) ago :-)

Very, very interesting. That alone should show the KDE project's true feelings for end users that want to use a professional desktop environment instead of a cell phone social media app.
