Hi,
 Having been with the linux product since the early-mid '90's I have learned 
what it is to have excellent software and as you point out mostly free (I have 
tried the non-free versions as well ) I have become used to the fact that you 
can have upgrades of code that do not mess up the "visual" snd sensible 
setting one has chosen.
 However this time around all my wallpaper setings to demarkate the several 
"screens" have been wpied and Kmail has gone to the dogs completely with out 
so much as a by your leave which is why I do not like the Redmond product and 
would certainly not buy it as it has continually displayed this kind of 
behaviour if that is harsh  so be it.
