| For a short time I had the impression that KDE 4.0.1 would slowly get

buggy
| behaviour is mounting.
| And I don't really know whether this is related to KDE, the openSUSE
factory
| as a whole, or my installation. So I don't know whether and where to
file bug
| reports.
|
| I tried both the standard Factory packages and the RPMs from
KDE-Stable repo
| (BTW - what is the exact difference between these two KDE package
sources?
| The errors are the same).
|
| A short list of the bugs of my KDE4 sessions, as I currently remember
them:
|
| 1. Konqueror4: Has simply been unable to render any web for me page
for weeks.
| Sometimes I get a simple web page, e.g. Google, displayed. But 99,9%
Konqui4
| times out with an "unknown error". Konqueror/KDE3 and Firefox work fine.
|
| 2. Desktop icons (from my, thanks to the user orientation of som KDE
| developpers, seemingls "deprecated" ~/Desktop-drawer) sometimes
"multiply"
| over and over again with every new start (hundreds of entries in
plasmarc).
| Mouse-over-effects of the desktop icons don't fade out once the mouse
is no
| longer over them.
|
| 3. keditbookmarks doesn't display bookmarks, only the bookmark drawers.
|
| 4. Switching to a new user session results in the session of the
previous user
| being locked - and it cannot be unlocked, the password is no longer
| recognized.

This i have noticed also, but only in 4.0.1, on 11.0A2 KDE CD-install

|
| 5. Konsole and Dolphin cannot be started at all (crash window) - be it by
| start menu, tray icon or keyboard shortcut. Strange enough, most of
the time
| I can start these apps e.g. from a KDE3-Konsole window....
|
| 6. Plasma crashes pretty often. Sometimes ALT+F2 still works and I can
| restart "plasma", sometimes not.

In 10.3 it crashes more than in 11.0.

|
| 7. Very slow. On an athlon X2 4400+ and a Geforce 6200, everything
takes just a
| bit too long, it simply feels sluggish. E.g. the "show desktop"
plasmoid in
| the panel takes a few seconds until it shows the desktop. I don't even
try to
| activate desktop effects (though the proprietary Nvidia driver should
have
| all the necessary features activated automatically), as they render the
| desktop unusable.


Desktop effects in 11, made my desktop totaly black, completely
unusable, like a blind man ctrl+alt+del, enter, and hope it is on shut
down instead close session.

It is only slow when used within 10.3 as i noticed also, in 11.0 it is not.

|
| 8. Both KDE3 and KDE4 seem to feel responsible for removable media in
a KDE4
| session.
|
| 9. Sometimes ~/.kde4 is best removed if KDE4 has messed itself completely
| up...

I had to do this about 5 times until now...

|
| That's as far as I remember currently, there are many more small things.
|
| Question: Bugs, expected behaviour, configuration problem of my setup?
Thanks!

Most of them realy look like bugs to me..
