What seg faults and missing features? It seems like KDE 4.2 already had more features than gnome has ever had.
BTW im running Amarok 2.1 beta2~ and it already consumes less than half the memory that Amarok 2.0.x did (~45mb)
Progress is awesome and KDE is definitely leading the way at the moment (though konqueror is bit behind the times, but it's getting there at least hopefully). Frankly can't wait what kind of disaster gnome 3.0 will be...I think it will teach a good lesson to all kde 4.x (especially to .0) bashers...

And does this bring back the old skool KDE 3.5.9 features everybody misses, like K3B, Kaffeine, ability to set different background for each virtual desktop, etc ?
However I must say it's quite usable.
Kaffeine is in pre-1:
However I don't use it because I find myself very comfortable with Qt4's VLC.
Regarding different background for each virtual desktop: yes, it's fixed in 4.3, and 4.2 actually had a manual workaround too.

So I'm using my shiny new KDE 4.3 desktop right now. Seems awesome so far. Lots of little things seem more polished.
Also seems pretty stable for a beta, but I've not used it for a long enough period to really tell I guess.
I'll even try and give Konqueror another go as my day-to-day webbrowser, though experience says I'll probably switch over to firefox in a few days again. :P
Originally posted by Jimmy View PostI still don't understand why so much of KDE3 had to be gutted and reimplemented from the ground up. Is it going to be this way with KDE 5 or will the APIs be friendly enough that applications can be migrated without the rewritten from scratch feel that's just now starting to diminish a year+ after release?
Originally posted by Jimmy View PostI'm with you there. KDE 3.x vs KDE 4.x is enough discussion material for me. Couldn't care less about Gnome and their ass backwards file selector.
