36 Same here, but as I do use it a lot, I think I would notice it.
37 And any issues I find, I do report :)

44 I haven't am going to "copy"/merge the history-date from Kopete when I get
45 round to it.
46 I do use Kmail (embedded into kontact) and it works quite well.
47 Akonadi takes a little bit to synchronize at first, but I do have 2 IMAP-
48 accounts and a groupdav account configured. I believe that is causing it to
49 take a little bit longer.

53
54 I tend to use the commandline for editing stuff for root, maybe I'm old-school
55 in that, but I prefer not to use graphical software as root

61
62 In View->Panels, you can specify what to show on the "left"
63
64 I have the "places" and "folders" shown on mine and am happy with those 2.

68 I hope so for you, I did do a full "emerge -e" on mine to fix some weird
69 behaviours :)
