I got KDE 4.2.1 installed with only a couple of bugs along the way. |
| 2 |
I'm not impressed: there's some eye-candy, but usability is reduced. |
| 3 |
There's a very limited choice of desktop backgrounds: |
| 4 |
I like the 'No picture, pavement' choice in 3.5.10 with different colors, |
| 5 |
but there's nothing similar in 4.2.1 . |
| 6 |
I did something unexpected & froze a new panel -- 1 CPU at 100 % -- |
| 7 |
& managed to get back to "normal" only by deleting ~/.kde4/share . |
| 8 |
Dolphin is pathetic compared with Thunar, let alone Krusader |
| 9 |
(I've never tried Konqueror as a file manager). |
| 10 |
I can't try the new Gwenview, as some of the new files clash with the old |
| 11 |
& I'm certainly not unmerging the KDE 3 version. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I've gone back to 3.5.10 more or less, but am stuck with 4.2.1's desktop: |
| 14 |
the background, R-click menu & 4.2.1 panel are still there & working |
| 15 |
(no, trying to change it with the 3.5.10 CC has no effect). |
| 16 |
Can anyone suggest what I have to delete to get all of 3.5.10 restored ? |

I have a lot of respect for KDE developers over the past few years, |
| 19 |
but they've badly underestimated the size of their task for KDE 4 . |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Perhaps I should try Xfce 4.6 with some KDE 4 apps ... (smile) |
