I do understand that it works differently. I got that part. As |
| 56 |
mentioned above, I went through the issues on the KDE mailing list and |
| 57 |
the things I need are not functional yet. They will be later on but |
| 58 |
they are not right now. They do however work in KDE 3. That's why I am |
| 59 |
having to keep it around. |
