Hi,
I have:

running openSUSE 11.1 RC-1 live-CD :) , I activated some repositories from YaST and installed some packages so I can work normally in live CD, and I must say that I'm impressed (and all is running from my RAM, even I'm using NetBeans 6.5 right now, wow!), I can't wait to install the final release into my hard drive.
But, there are some little things that I would really like in the final release to be fixed:
- hide/unhide icons in the system tray (actually there is a dialog for hidding, but you cannot unhide them with the little arrow).
- volumen keys don't work
- crtl+alt+k don't change the keyboard layout
- miss the very functional popup menu in dolphing and konqueror to create or add to a compressed file (zip, tar, tar.gz, etc). from a folder or files, I use this menu every day in KDE3.
- kdebluetooth4 don't start
Rgds.

After extensively testing beta 5 on KDE4, 11.1 will be another kde3 box for the final release. After going through every dialog trying to configure KDE 4 to my liking I just kept running into issues that kde4 just wont do. For example, you can't configure the icon text to my normal 525 px. for icon view instead kde4 just offers small, medium or large like a happy meal. I can't add an application 'menu' to the taskbar, there is just no way to do it The only way to get something close is the create a partially functional plasmoid to try and collect what you want in there and then add the plasmoid widget to the taskbar to have it behave completely different from what a simple traditional menu on the taskbar does. And then you can no longer place focus on files in detailed view in konqueror by clicking to the right of the name - that feature was intentionally not included.. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. It looks like the kde core values of efficiency of use (minimizing the required clicks and ctrl+alt+clutter) and being the most configurable desktop have slipped by the wayside in favor of plasmoids and widgets that look kind of cool but take twice the work and effort to get normal tasks done with. It has promise, but I just hope it grows up quickly. Yes and bugs were filed on all to be closed invalid - you just have to learn all the new konqueror ctrl+click+clutter to be able to place focus on files where a simple single click did it all before... -- David C.
