Comment 37 for bug 342671

I've had it with Kubuntu developers. They break previously working
functions, ignore the impact of their actions on the community and add
unnecessary puff to applications. I've pulled Kubuntu from all of my
systems. Better if the Kubuntu developers go work for Microsoft where they
can be appreciated for the poor quality and unresponsiveness to customer
complaints.

Sincerely,
-Ralph
