My complaints against KDE4 is missing pieces(slowly being taken care of, but not so much for those who don't know about adding in the build service to have these pieces), slower on the same hardware(I have a Celeron DC E1200 overclocked to 3.2Ghz and an nVidia 6200GT and KDE4 IS slower than KDE3, as well as KDE4 is slower on my older hardware as well, so it's not so much a lack of resources issue), KDE4 doesn't use less resources than KDE3, there's no quick and easy way to turn off all these new whiz bang features(rotating windows, widgets, etc - but they have said that they will move KPersonalizer to KDE4), KDE4 is showing driver problems with nVidia, which KDE3 doesn't have, etc.
Speed: Seems to be hardware dependent. On some hardware it's faster then KDE3. Whiz Bang: As stated before - Configure Desktop (Personal Settings) -> Desktop -> Desktop Effects Uncheck "Enable desktop effects" Apply. Done. Resources: Tends to be program dependent. Konsole for example uses less resources on KDE4. -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
