No doubt. That just makes all the more impressive what Ilya has done for opensuse.

My primary desktops are TDE 3.5.12 (on Arch) and KDE 3.5.10 on opensuse 11.4. To
be honest - from a user and function standpoint (sftp aside), they both work
phenomenally. TDE R13 & R14 will as well, but, at least for Arch, there is tons
of work to do to get all the features building.

Renaming/separate Qt4 modules -- it doesn't really matter to the user. However,
it probably matters a lot from a long-term maintainability standpoint. From what
I can tell at this point, tqt3 is doing a fine job. So much so, that when I
opened konqueror for the first time in 'tree view' the (Name, Size, File Type,
and Modified) columns all fit neatly inside the file list window while
(Permissions, Owner, Group, Link) all neatly scrolled off the right-side and
were easily viewable via the horizontal scroll. That is something that Qt4 has
never been able to accomplish without the existing column sizes going all to hell.

From what I've seen, if TQt3 is maintainable, that should be the long-term
solution for the foreseeable future -- until (and more importantly, if) Qt4
matures to the point that it can provide a workable replacement. It is far from
there yet and IMHO most widgets still look like they were created by some
teenager hopped up on Jolt soda saying "look Bevis -- see what I can make it
do!" ;-)
