Hi all. Has anyone else played around with some of the new stuff in the latest KDE4 update? I haven't found it all yet, but the new desktop background options are interesting (including one that uses Kmarble and looks like the old xearth/xplanet on steroids...). [...snip...]
Now this is the kind of KDE4 report I like to see.
Rodney, which set of repos/howto are you using for the KDE4 setup.
David, I'm running KDE4 Factory so I'm currently running 4.3 beta. I wouldn't recommend it for a production system but if you have a spare test machine around it's definitely worth a try. I'm so used to KDE4 now that I find it hard to go back to KDE3 (had to the other day to fix something corrupted in the KDE4 desktop config, possibly due to a partly completed KDE4.2-4.3beta upgrade that was interrupted by a power outage). I'm also having a problem with Yast2 at the moment - won't even run under gnome (so I've hosed it somehow) - still working on that. Other than that, its all going great - I haven' t had KDE4 crash in ages and they've even fixed a number of bugs with Kmail/IMAP integration :-). Cheers, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
