    Really strange, I had some plasma crashes on RC1 but not that much and the Bug window always poped up immediatly so I could just clic on restart application.

    So not that much annoying considering it's a RC version.

    Anyway I hope the clean config will help you, because I won't leave KDE for nothing, the applications and the usability of the UI is just awesome. It really fits what I need.
    With some few missing things (exemple settings-> keyboard,mouse (under there you can adjust your joystick too.. even if it's not on title...) ) there is no DEADZONE config... !

    Or I have two screens and when I do a mouse over on the folder view plasmoid the popup with sub folders appear on my main screen and not on the screen where I'm doing the mouse over.

    Well I really think they are on good way. If you still have troubles with KDE, shall you go report them on their site.

    See ya

    Nice to hear it, were you able to report the bug ?
    I think it's the most difficult at this time, we have to install a lot of packages to be able to report a crash, I really hope they will simplify the system as soon as possible.

    Did you try to start with a new configuration.

    Rename your ~/.kde to ~/.kde_back

    and try again to start you kde.
    Of course you will have a clean config but it's just to test if you have less troubles.

    If it's the case you can always restore folder by folder what you want.
    share/apps etc...

    Not anymore. If you are using driver 180.xx or later, especially with GeForce 8 class hardware or higher, performance has improved drastically.

    I've built it, installed it. It still sucks, and there are no performance improvements.

    I just pulled the packages in from the Kubuntu backports. It seems the plasma segfault is gone. Now I can finally move to kde 4.3 (from gnome)

    You just have to use xfbdev instead of fbdev (the port to fbdev is dead), it will load as fast, use as much memory and Qt will be 4 time faster than GTK. Try by yourself.

    But about the speed, just enable GPU windows drawing, if it is slower than gnome, then it is your fault, not KDE. If you talk about resize speed, it is because KDE3 and Gnome use an hack to send more redraw event to windows, Qt4 does not support the hack (but 4.6 will) making it seem slower, while it is only because the WM send less request.
    Neat, I will try it ASAP .
