They may be workable by release 4.3
They work fine for me in 4.3. Saying XYZ is broken in an old release of KDE4 is useless. If you're having issues in 4.3... then you have something to grump about, and things need to be fixed. Grumping about an old problem that is likely already fixed is... well... not so productive.
Well i have installed on the laptop 11.2MS6 and the DO NOT WORK neither does a different wallpaper on each desktop
We don't work in widgets. We use applications. There are no usefull widgets that do anything butter than applications.
Well said , There seems to be a swing away from TRUE applications to lame excuses for apps and web based apps (getting too cosey with M$ Corp i think)
Ever think that a widget just might be another word for a special kind of application :^)
I've worked in widgets for years... in KDE3. Ever hear of SuperKaramba?
In KDE4, I've got some very useful widgets running... one that's saved me a LOT of time is the Server Status one... it pings however many different servers you configure, and reports up/down. There are loads of others....
KDE4.3 is good enough that I've started installing it on my friend's desktops. They love it, and none want to go back to KDE3.5.
