I also was waiting for a "better" version when KDE 4.0 came out and was |
| 10 |
sticking to KDE 3. Then KDE 4.1 came out but I still preferred 3. Two |
| 11 |
days ago I tried KDE 4.2.0 and it seems that this is the version that |
| 12 |
can replace KDE 3 for me. So far, I didn't login to KDE 3 again after I |
| 13 |
had 4.2.0 running. The only feature I'm missing from KDE 3 is sticky |
| 14 |
keyboard layout switching and HAL mount options. I also didn't have a |
| 15 |
single crash/segfault (yet) in KDE 4.2.0. Plasma and KWin used to |
| 16 |
crashed like hell in 4.1.4. It's very stable on my machine; running |
| 17 |
straight for about 20 hours now. So far, it looks good. Make sure you |
| 18 |
have upgraded to x11-libs/qt-gui-4.4.2-r2 though and then rebuild |
| 19 |
kdelibs and plasma-workspace (to make sure)! It fixes crashes that |
| 20 |
occur with 4.4.2-r1. |
