Everyone besides a small niche has moved to KDE4, and KDE4 is definitely ready for the job.
That "small" niche includes some users dependent on KDE3 features that remain missing in KDE 4.7 (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158556), not to mention intolerable new bugs in KDE4 (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283366).
Another "feature" is the panel no longer automagically adjusts for display aspect ratio or resolution. At work I built a server with a 720p monitor. My desktop is 1080p and a ThinkPad with 1024 x 768 resolution. I often use XDMCP to connect to the server. When I use a different monitor, I'll often the panel extends beyond the edges of the monitor or doesn't come close to reaching them. I have to manually adjust the width, which means it'll be the wrong width again, when I use a different system.

Far too general to be valid. And an argument to keep KDE3? Seems a bit far fetched, especially since there are alternatives to knetworkmanager in case it really was as broken as you try to make it sound.

I pretty much doubt the KDE3 has a working NetworkManager CURRENT integration. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have a ThinkPad E520. With the 12.1 RC1 Live CD, KNetworkManager won't even enable WiFi. On the installed version, KNetworkManager isn't even available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You should be using the "Network Management" plasmoid. knetworkmanager is gone. Regarding the WiFi device itself I think relevant firmware is missing and we are working on including them in the installation.

Whatever it's called, it's there on the 12.1 Live CD and not the installed version. As for the firmware, yes, I know it's not being loaded. I included the dmesg info in my bug report. The WiFi also works with the Live CD, but again the KNetworkManager widget that appears on the bar does not enable WiFi. If I use the ifup method, instead of KNetworkManager, I can connect to my WiFi here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
