I too am waiting to see KDE 4.1 appear in the testing list. |

The KDE devs are always short-staffed, so let's give them a big cheer, |
| 9 |
but a few words of their plans would help KDE users (smile). |

My estimate (also based on reading & screenshots) is |
| 15 |
that it is 60 % eye candy, 30 % hype & 10 % useful improvements: |
| 16 |
the basic motivation is to make it work well with Qt 4 . |
| 17 |
Dolphin is offered as a simpler alternative to Konqueror file-management, |
| 18 |
but I use CLI everyday with Krusader for heavy lifting occasionally |
| 19 |
(I also have Vifm installed, but have little actual use for it); |
| 20 |
Gwenview apparently has an improved interface; however, |
| 21 |
the Kicker panel (renamed) is still not fully configurable. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Otherwise, KDE 3.5.10 was announced yesterday. |
