confirmed ! and theres another important point usability and
intuitivity, I very often install linux to new users who never used
linux before, everytime i installed them a kde4, they were completely
lost at first, then tried to customize it their way and broke it all,
then I put kde3/trinity and they re happy and never need me again ;)
