And to think I have been in KDE 4 for almost a week now.  Maybe this is 
to soon to remove KDE 3?

My pet peeve so far is the background slide show.  Every time I log in, 
try to change a setting for the background, or sneeze the wrong way, it 
starts looking for the new images, even tho there may not be any.  I 
have a huge amount of them and it takes almost 2 minutes to "rebuild" 
whatever it is building.  While it is doing that, it won't do anything 
else.

I'm hoping this will change sometime soon.  Oh, I also don't like that 
the images are random.  Most of my images are done as a slide show.  
Having them in random order sort of defeats the point.
