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.
