Built KDE4 last night, it took about 4.5 hours total and built without |
2 |
failures. To be safe, I created a new user for testing purposes and |
3 |
logged out of my own account. I use entrance as my dm and I find an |
4 |
entry for kde-4 in the list of sessions available. So far so good. |

First impression: kde4 starts up fast. I had gotten used to waiting up |
7 |
to 30 seconds for the splash screen to get through everything it needs |
8 |
to. |

Konsole works, both 3.5 and 4.0 I don;t get the slow scrolling issue |
11 |
another user reported. |
12 |
Konqueror works, now I have to recreate my custom settings that I have |
13 |
grown used to. |
14 |
Kontact works properly and so does the kmail component. |
15 |
kmail on it's own does not work. wtf is up with that anyway? |
16 |
kopete, amarok all work. |

The oxygen theme is a vast improvement over Plastik. |
19 |
I'm still undecided about the default menu, it looks a little in the |
20 |
style of XP which I can't stand. I know it''s not the same and maybe |
21 |
just a knee-jerk so I'm holding off before coming to an opinion. |
22 |
|
23 |
All in all, a very nice point-0 point-0 release. After using it for a |
24 |
few hours, I can understand what all the hype was about :-) |
