| So new features for 4.4 are that:
| 
| 1: plasma style selection is moved from behind right 
| click on desktop, to system settings where are icons, 
| themes and colors?
| 
| 2: The independent dashboard option is moved from 
| plasma settings what is shown when user zooms out 
| activies, to "Desktop" place on system settings?

So you want to know how important KDE 4 is?

| Iâve followed and written about the development of 
| the KDE 4.0 project on the old version of this blog. 
| Until now however, Iâve never addressed the criticism 
| that some sections of the Linux community have heaped 
| on it. So Iâll just start with this post in the 
| blogosphere that caught my eye.

How Important is KDE 4?

,----[ Quote ]
| So, how important is KDE 4?  To the KDE project, it 
| is absolutely crucial.  I hate to say it, but it 
| looks as if KDE 4 has become KDEâs âVista.â   The KDE 
| reputation has been tainted with a divided community, 
| mediocre products, and a seeming lack of solid 
| direction.  I can only hope KDE becomes stable at 
| some point in the near future, perhaps by choosing to 
| make their â4.5â release their stable release fit for 
| refinement and development, much like with KDE 3.5.  
| Perhaps creating that stable environment for people 
| to improve upon could lead to the creation of a new, 
| thriving community, one just as influential as the 
| one when KDE 3.5 was around.  Otherwise, they may 
| lose the market they have fought so hard to gain.

Plasma in KDE 4.4

,----[ Quote ]
| Each release of Plasma over the 18 months since its debut release has marked
| an impressive step forward in its evolution. We are planning on making 4.4,
| our second anniversary release coming in January 2010, more of the same in
| that regard.
