a couple of hours ago i tried the 1 click install of kde4.1 . something must be wrong with the 1 click, as I can not get a file manager window up in 4.1
There is a known problem with the repo servers. Was in another thread from a couple of hours ago.
.
can't find a way to change the number of desktops
System Settings > Desktop > Multiple Desktops
or put a different background on one of the two existing ones,
Not included yet. Last I read it's planned for a future release.
All is well with my system when I switch to kde 3.5.
KDE3.5 was not a ground up re-write to QT4... KDE4 was. Give it a chance. "Missing" features are coming back all the time.
kde 4.1 has gone up in numbers from 4.0, yet it seems so un-prepared for basic functionality.
Works fine here - I use KDE4.1 every day all day long as my regular home user desktop, and now as my home work desktop Things are different, but there is no core fundamental functionality thst is missing that makes KDE unusable. It's, in my opinion, a lot more usable than any version of Gnome I use (I use Gnome on my 2nd home computer, and on my work computer in the office).
Basic functionality? What is basic functionality? The fact you cannot yet set a different wallpaper on desktop two is not that critical... definitely not a make-or-break for functionality.
Sigh... Another apologist for a pathetic system. People who have a lot of stuff going on rely on different wallpapers to quickly tell them where they are without having to peek at the pager to figure which desktop they are on. If you are happy with Gnome, you will like KDE4. Yes, its THAT much of a backward step. It has another two point releases to go before it will equal the functionality and flexibility of KDE3.5. And Clayton, please stop with this "core fundamental functionality" crap. That is VERY transparent wording for "woefully incomplete", and you are not fooling anyone. TWM had CORE functionality. XFCE has CORE functionality. Its pretty insulting for you to tell every new user reporting missing features the STFU and just use it because it does everything YOU like. -- ----------JSA--------- There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that can read binary and those that can't. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
