The release is a basis for the integration of powerful new technologies that will be included in KDE 4. It has been given the codename 'Knut'." Meanwhile, the KDe HIG team is looking for help with finding applications that violate the (unfinished) KDE HIG.

You look at all the things that are in kde 4, new api's, no more arts, plasma, the freedesktop framework and HIG improvements, Oxygen, phonon, decibel, solid, and the only comments are "I like it, dolphin looks like gnome" or "It sucks, dolphin looks like gnome", or "we need to fork kde, because it looks like gnome".

But I see the screen shot and it looks just like my kde desktop right now, if I have konqueror open with the nav panel closed.

Think dolphin doesn't meet your needs, guess what, use konqueror, it's still there.

Don't like the icons, or the widgets, or the thickness of the window border, or the colors, or the background, guess what, kde will let you customize them down to a gnat's behind. That's what kde is about. Letting you make your desktop environment do what you want it to, form the simple to the sublime.
