Unfortunately I'm very late to the Leap testing, but I found some issues in RC1 which are important to the overall impression, and are probably pretty easy to fix:
Hi Martin, tnx for the feedback!
* There's no video player included in the default installation at all. I would suggest to include vlc-qt. Secondly kaffeine, third dragon. Submitted a patterns change to devel project & Leap (with vlc-qt as default).
* An upstream Plasma wallpaper is used by default, not the Leap wallpaper, which is available in the desktop settings.
* On login KMix crashes cuz of PulseAudio breakage. But I thought KMix shouldn't be started on Plasma >=5.4 by default. Maybe not even be installed by default on a fresh installation? Or is this a conscious decision? Submitted a patterns change to devel project & Leap.
* File indexing is enabled by default. I haven't seen to many complaints about Baloo recently, but it still seems a risky default. Given that file indexers have a tendency to blow up sooner or later. File indexer is in good enough state to leave it on (and there haven't been any requests to disable it till now).
* The adwaita GTK style is used by default. Is this intentional? (breezygtk is not installed by default either, but I guess it's not very mature, and can potentially crash gtk apps). Fixed in devel project and submitted to Leap. If it proves to be crashy, we can revert. No indication for that yet though =)
But overall I'm looking forward to finally migrating to Plasma5!
And some other issues, which aren't so easy, but probably already handled:
* Gwenview5 is not installable. Because it requires "application- appdata(gwenview.appdata.xml)". I guess this might be caused by the inconsistent state with a mix of 15.04 and 15.08 applications. I'd still prefer gwenview"4" anyway cuz of the kipiplugins. Fixed in devel project and submitted to Leap.
* Amarok crashes on startup. But I'm pretty sure that's also related to the pulseaudio breakage.
* Sddm is not themed. But that's probably not that easy to do. And most users probably use autologin anyway. Fixed in devel project and submitted to Leap.
