these bugs have been reported over and over and over... hence the comment that there is no interest in this component.

I think some KDE developers offer a "bug fixing service" similar to this one:Originally Posted by mtk0

Perhaps if enough users want to see a bug being fixed, we can organize and collect a bounty in order to pay a developer for his time to fix the bug that we want to see fixed, or we can try to fix them ourselves.
I appreciate what the developers have done all those years, so I would happily support them in any way I can.

The real question is what is 'right' with it. The answer would be 'nothing'.

It's a terminal emulator and it does a fine job at that. What's wrong with it, please tell me.

It looks like 4.10 will be just as dull as 4.9! The big things are happening in gnome and unity land. Looking aside from the vocal few here at phoro most is realizing KDEs time is up.
KDE is losing its spot as Major Desktop to Unity. Greatest Phail since KDE4 if you ask me. LoL

KDE is working towards KDE Frameworks and Workspaces 5.0... Just recently Blue Systems hired what ten developers to work full time on upstream KDE. That doesn't like dying project either. KDE is one project that is still gaining features where as others are removing them by the release. There's huge outrage in Gnome/Ubuntu camp because of the dramatic changes, removal of features, advertisement, stupid design decissions and so on while the KDE community seems stable and satisfied. You rarely hear people complaining that KDE 4.9 was worse than 4.8 or that 4.8 was worse than 4.7 as every release is improvement over the previous.

LOL. Nice argument when Kwin boot tiling support. OMG OMG holy shit holy shit, KDE is purging features!!1 Bring forth the torches!!!! Oh wait that doesnt apply when we are talking about KDE does it? KDE is just as crappy slow moving turd as it has been for years now. Obsoleted by Unity, LOL.

So the tiling support was dropped from developement version of KDE 4.10 and is going to be added back before 4.10. Sounds like exactly the way it should be done. KDE SC 4.9 still has tiling support and KDE 4.10 is going to have tiling support.Last but not least there is one important change for the 4.10 release. KWin’s window tiling capabilities which were implemented by a Season of KDE project a few years ago had to be removed again as the feature is seeing some bit rot and is completely unmaintained. Thanks to scripting it should be possible to implement window tiling again and provide it in time for 4.10. And work is going on to make that happen. If you want to help, please leave a note
I really like to know more about these people who have migrated from KDE to Unity... to me it seems that more people have left Ubuntu because of Unity than anything else ever before.

Isn't Unity the resource hog king? So, why would people move from crap (KDE) or crap B (Gnome 3) to bigger crap (Unity)? I have read that some people are moving to XFCE and perhaps, LXDE. But, they have gtk connections and I often notice they often suffer from some of the same bugs or problems Gnome users have.
I wish the Gnome2 fork was more successful. At least, they didn't seem to focus on mobile devices or eye candy as much as the others.

The fact that most distributions don't come with Yakuake by default, which uses Konsole's Kpart.
