KDE4.1 seems a lot better although as you can see from the list there are 
still a few niggling little frustrations.
Kontact is new version and it looks and seems to work great. My only quibble 
is that there is no built in migration for your current data/settings. I was 
hoping there was a prompt on first start to migrate your data and settings 
from a KDE3 version.  A ".kontact" folder with links to all the kontact 
subsystems data/settings would be great to have so you can make the backing 
up/migration a lot easier.  The import/export mechanism doesn't seem quite 
correct yet.  I tried to "export" the KDE3 data and import to KDE4 but that 
created a subfolder structure in the new Kontact with all the KDE3 folder 
structure below it and all emails were showing as unread instead of reflecting 
the current status. So it was a complete manual data/settings upgrade via the 
command line.
It looks like there is a gap in the market for intelligent migration tools for 
some apps as an app should be able to import its own data/settings.
But other than that and getting used to the new layout and how to tailor it to 
your tastes, I'm happily using it.
Opensuse 11.1 has a few of its own frustrations and regressions but once 
passed those, it seems fine as well.

regards

Ian
