Hi,
after a long time using KDE 3.5.9 I decided to move towards KDE 4.1 as some patches and bugfixes have been released. I'm quite impressed with KDE 4.1, it's "a lot" faster than KDE 3.5.x and has some other nice features...
But not everything is 100% smooth... Konsole is one of the most heavily used applications (at least for me). Under KDE 3.5.x you could define Konsole properties for each window open... under KDE 4.x if you change it in one, it'll change everywhere... I miss the transparent dark backgrounds... and the ability to save the my customized properties as Konsole defaults. With this new version of KDE I don't seem to find the right option. Even closing the session (with the "Restore current session"-option activated) won't restore my Konsole settings ... :-/
To keep your current settings you need to define first a profile.
Dual-head doesn't seem to be quite supported when it comes to setting a desktop background... if you set up a slideshow, pics won't be scaled to fit the screen size but will be shown "as is"...
The Solar Winds screensaver runs into a 1/8 of the screen, on the upper left corner of display 1... the rest is like white...
And finally, changing form one virtual destop to another takes up to 2 seconds, while in KDE 3.5.9 it's intantaneous.
I guess I can live with these glitches for a while... well, if I get fed up I can fall back to KDE 3.5.9 until there's a major improvement in 4.1, which is already a major step ahead itself...
Cheers, Martin
