KDE is committed to KDE-4 and Fedora-KDE packagers are going with the flow. There is no future in KDE-3.5.x, only the past. Things have improved since the original release and the Live-CD probably doesn't approximate the current experience. It's suitable for my usage. Please don't get into this concept of blaming users because the packages made the decision to go to KDE-4 and we all have to deal with it. It's not a big thing but it's enough to cause me to delay rolling out Fedora-9 to a network of KDE users for now because of their expectations and level of skills has them putting files on the Desktop which is presently dead space on KDE.
