desktops or put a different background on one of the two existing ones, so
right off the bat i see basic problems, two out of...two!!!. All is well with
my system when I switch to kde 3.5. My 11.0 is a fresh install with very few
alterations, added kernel source, syms, make(!!!!), gcc, removed beagle,
added vmware server 1.06,fully updated, tried the opensdk and icetea 64 bit
java plugins, neither can let me get on my online financial account (the 32
bit plugin works just fine in my 32 bit 10.3).
kde 4.1 has gone up in numbers from 4.0, yet it seems so un-prepared for basic
functionality. At the very least the 1 click install is very deficient,
especially after it declared that installation was completed successfully.
kde 4.1 can *not* be that inadequate, yet the inability to properly install is
itself a major flaw...
ok, let's start looking for the problems, i am sure they will be plenty
still... These gosh darned youngsters just can't get it in their mind that
something has got to *work* before we add "features" to it...what a concept,
eh?

Opensuse 11 with kde 4.1 (now)...And still very disappointed in kde 4.1.
Widgets still don't work. Still can't copy stuff to the desktop without
using a file manager. Still can't right click something on the desktop and
"send to trash". Still kontact does not work right for me (connection times
out). Ark still does not work right...And on and on and on. I usually stay
quiet about this but i thought with 4.1 things were going to be different
(at least some). Just so i make sure i am updating from the right repo, i
update using
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS
USE_11.0/. Is this where i should be updating?
