I had similar problems with KDE 4.2. And I wonder why strigi keeps |
| 26 |
indexing some of my files every time log into KDE, which I am sure were |
| 27 |
not changed in the meantime. But I do not notice this much, because Amarok |
| 28 |
creates much more disk I/O before it crashes every time I log in. Then I |
| 29 |
restart it, it scans for a while, and works then. Maybe I'll downgrade, or |
| 30 |
I'll wait for an update, I got so used to Amarok I do not want to change. |
| 31 |

That's my experience with KDE4. It's really nice, has cool features and is |
| 33 |
getting better and better, but it's always many things which do not run |
| 34 |
correctly. With every KDE update, some are fixed, and other problems |
| 35 |
appear. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Problems that I had with 4.2 and still have with 4.4: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
- Session saving sometimes does not work |
| 40 |
- Kmail complains about running two times when started at login by a saved |
| 41 |
session |
| 42 |
- I get dialogs about crashed konqueror sessions I can restore |
| 43 |
- kthumbnail thumbnails my files over and over again, two days ago I had a |
| 44 |
load of 400 |
| 45 |
- Amarok: crashes, ogg file corruption, wrong playlists, sloow response |
| 46 |
(sometimes I miss the first 1-2 seconds) |
| 47 |
- many bundled plasmoids seem to be buggy |
| 48 |
- Krunner is very nice, if only it would not crash so often or hang for |
| 49 |
seconds, so that using the K menu is easier. Once I had to remove its |
| 50 |
config file because it would not start at all. |
| 51 |
- My additional Konqueror profiles do not appear in the file menu. I can |
| 52 |
enable them, they are lost at next login. |
| 53 |
- Under load the panel does not react well, clicks onto another desktop |
| 54 |
take > 10 seconds to happen sometimes. Switching via hotkey is still fast. |
| 55 |
- This KMail window has spell checking which is nice to have. But when I |
| 56 |
open the spell checking dialog in order to add words to the dictionary, I |
| 57 |
always have to start at the very beginning and reply to all problems until |
| 58 |
I get to the word I want it to learn. Oh, and it even has problems with |
| 59 |
numbers like 4.2. This looks to me like the typical example of a nice |
| 60 |
idea, but it's implemented so badly I just do not use it. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
And so on. But it's not so bad I cannot work with it (well, sometimes it |
| 63 |
is, and then I have to fix it, like when the password dialog no longer |
| 64 |
accepted passwords), and so I keep using it, waiting it to become really |
| 65 |
stable and usable. |
