Ooh, black magic.  I love that in my desktop environment.  Who cares about
discoverability?  I'll just randomly click on everything until I see what
I want. </rant> </sarcasm>

Honestly when I tried KDE4 I was willing to put up with the hideous
ugliness of the whole thing, and the fact that it wasted my screen space,
if the UI was just discoverable.  I was even willing to redo the themes,
widgets, etc. until I discovered just how much of a discoverability
nightmare the entire UI had become.  Users having to resort to using
Google to find out the new way of doing simple tasks is a Very Bad Sign.
