When devices are listed under My computer (sorry, on Windows right now, hope you get what I mean anyway), right-clicking them only offers alternatives related to fiddling with the icon *representing* the device.
Can't remember such counter-intuitive things happening in KDE3.
Thanks, Gudmund. Please tell me what you would expect to find there.
If it's a portable HD, I'd expect mount, unmount, open in file manager X, disk manager Y, set user rights etc. options. If it's a media disk (CD, DVD), I'd expect options to open it with/in a media player of my choice. If it's a video camera, I'd expect options including video import and editing. And so on. And no, the popup on plugging things in is not enough, since it only shows on that occasion.
Other than a few minor issues (no manual panel hide, no System Settings applet, no metadata in Konqueror) I think that KDE 4.4 has all the functionality of KDE 3, and it uses less resources too now! How is that? How much less? What resources is it leaner on?
On a Qt4 only system (no Qt3) KDE 4 really, really flies. In fact, that was the design goal of Qt4: lower resource usage.
Does it require less/less advanced CPU? Less memory? ...?
That said, a system running both Qt3 and Qt4. along with GTK libraries, and whatever Open Office uses, is a dog! As I do not have any remaining Qt3 apps, running KDE 4.4, Open Office and FIrefox is rather quick and certainly no heavier than using the same apps in KDE 3 were.
Yes, OpenOffice is unfortunately bloated, and Firefox could certainly do with getting slimmer yet (including/especially for LTSP purposes...). So a lot might be won getting KDE to slim down. Good thing you're collecting this info! :) BR, Gudmund -- This message and any replies to it is scanned by http://www.fra.se.
