Amazing. The new Keramik 3.0.4 package is reporting to KDE that it doesn't support transparent menu's. That's kinda funny since every release prior to this one did. pfft.. I smell a rebuild coming.
A little anecdote The other day I installed kde on a very small computer, with not a lot of memory. KDE was completely unusable. Even the smallest action sent the machine into a swapping frenzy, even if it was just clicking the kinternet icon. It would swap for over 10 minutes, during which time naturally the machine couldn't do anything else. I then tried xfce on that machine, and suddenly it was usable again. I even got good response time, programs would come up almost immediately and in general using the computer became not the recipe for heart attacks it was before. I'm now using blackbox even on my big machine at home. If I could just find an email program as usable as kmail I'd get rid of kde completely. I know this has nothing to do with anything, I just had to relate my experience. Anders
