KDE not ready for prime time?

hi.

KDE has been getting some good reviews, we tried it, it looked good, but when we were piloting it for a few users, we noticed a few strange things:
1. when one of the users wanted to switch kde to their timezone, it asked for the password for root. ( root lives in its own timezone, it has nothing to do with those users )
2. when another user on that machine switched to her own timezone, the setting for the first user reverted to that of the second user. What are we doing wrong?!

Googling deep and wide - we still didn't find a solution.

Is KDE marketed as being ready for prime time? I mean it looks good -- neah, KDE looks GREAT!!

Or is KDE 4.6 only a preliminary version of KDE, and these basic issues will be resolved in KDE 5? Will KDE 5 be ready for prime time?

thanks a bunch
