Thanks for your trust.

We're doing what we can to make Plasma fully usable in Fedora 9. For example, I 
just applied a patch from the openSUSE branch which makes moving applets in the 
panel possible, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439587

I know the developers from upstream KDE and from openSUSE and other 
distributions are also hard at work fixing the usability regressions, in fact 
we got a lot of those fixes for free with the 4.0.3 upgrade thanks to the 
Plasma backports which were done in upstream KDE, and several of the patches we 
apply to KDE 4 are also their work.

For those who feel Fedora 9 is not ready for them yet, I recommend to simply 
stay on Fedora 8, nobody forces you to upgrade right now, Fedora 8 will get 
updates until 1 month after the release of Fedora 10. Meanwhile, Fedora 9 will 
also get upgrades, so you don't necessarily have to wait for Fedora 10 either. 
We are planning to push KDE 4.1 as a Fedora 9 upgrade once it's available, I 
hope that will work out, because it will be a big improvement.
