Panel configuration is still a pain in my opinion. Please, mention _specific_ pains and I will file bugs on them! That is exactly my intention and the reason why I am here. Make sure that you are on KDE 4.4, however, as much has changed in that release.
All configs on KDE4 are difficult. Nowhere near as easy as 3. However, since I limit my KDE4 usage, I don't know what is what and honestly I just don't have the time to work on it.
KDE4 is SLOW! Especially on older hardware. Kinda like Vista.
If you are loading Qt3 and Qt4 libraries, then yes, it is slower than Qt3 alone. However, for systems running only Qt4 libraries, KDE 4 is much more responsive than KDE 3. In fact, that was a specific design goal for Qt4. I run it on older hardware, and the difference (improvement) is noticable.
Define older. I have a Thinkpad 390X with a P3/500 and a 2.5MB VRAM Neomagic chip. No way I would even try KDE 4 on that. My Thinkpad A22m(P3/1Ghz) and X21's(P3/700) have ATI Mobility M3s. KDE4 was very unresponsive on them. Side by side with my 2 X21s and you see I world of difference in speed.
Which Qt3 applications do you still use? I may be able to make suggestions.
Very few. KOffice the most. I use Firefox and would use gnome due to the gtk libs, but I really despise gnome..... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
