The first thing is when i installed an app, i could not find it in the kmenu. In kde3->kmenu->applications->new programs, i see new apps listed. Does kde4 list new apps? Second thing, is it possible to have just kde4 installed (and not kde3)? Third thing, the trash, my computer and one other icon were question marks and did not launch. Forth thing, i did not see a way to configure the panel.
Chris, I see all the same issues. The panel particularly bugs me because I had my KDE3 panel quite heavily customised. Before I could even get it going, I had to install some extra stuff that wasn't listed as dependencies. I got the infamous "Can't start kdeint4. Check your installation" message. Turned out that I had to install strigi-0.5.7-20.3 to get kdeinit4 to launch. Only then would KDE4 run. I'm not even sure what strigi is. Now it's running, it looks awful. it's clunky and slow and things crash randomly. Klipper won't paste text from a bash terminal with middle mouse click - I have to do paste without formatting from the context menu. You could remove KDE3 and then install KDE4 from a curses yast2. KDE4 instals into a different place (/usr) from KDE3 (/opt), and they are meant to be completely separated. I'm disappointed in KDE4, and won't be removing KDE3 for some time yet. One of the KDE developers was saying online that it wasn't ready last week, and recommending a further period of testing. I agree. I don't think it's ready, and I think this release will damage KDE's reputation. For me, that's a real shame, as I've been a KDE user exclusively since SuSE 5.1 came out.
