Okay, everyone, repeat after me:
  KDE is *not* Windows!
  KDE is *not* Windows!
  KDE is *not* Windows!

So why does it insist on pretending to try and act like Windows? I can
understand having a "Windows-transition/compatibility mode" to help folks moving
from Windows, but I am not making such a move. If I wanted bloody Windows, I'd
run bloody Windows!

So what particular bit of KDE hatefulness inspired this? The bloody "Windows"
key. I have large hands, and sometimes fat-finger the control or alt key, and
wind up hitting the never-to-be-sufficiently-d*mned "Windows" key, which pops up
its big menu and steals the keyboard focus.

Windows key, be still! I *never* want you to pull up that menu, *ever*! Under
any possible circumstances! Am I being clear enough, you moronic key? Stay out
of my way!
