I was thinking about getting all obsequious and fawning at the High
Priests of Development, to verbally bow in thanks for the scraps of
code that we mere users are able to pick up off the ground after the
Priests have passed, but then I realized that there are lots of
people for whom English isn't a first language, and sarcasm doesn't
work in email very well anyway.
What's left for a user to do? As Nate put it a moment ago, just move
on.
> Are _you_ interested in doing it ?
Backporting KDE4 applications to a KDE3 working environment is beyond
my skills. I can't even get Squeeze KDM to use a different background
as it is.

Going back to obsequious pandering is looking very tempting. Yes, us
mere users have nothing to contribute, since we don't write code.

Indeed. And I assure you, that fact is not lost on anyone.

Let them eat cake.
