Kicker never crashed for me on openSUSE since 11.2 installation. I even do not know how it crashes.
- Reportedly broken kmail in KDE 4.8 so that even filtering on POP accounts does not work.
KMail is quite horrible atm, yes. I do like the fact that I can suddenly find my mails a lot easier, however - alt-F2 "words".
Lol. In my kmail there is a search bar always visible. I even do not need to press Alt+F2. Just "words" :-)
I agree with the performance issues.
Actually the performance issues do not bother me as long as a desktop satisfies my needs. I mostly use a desktop computer, not a laptop.
Most of the rest is mostly a matter of exchanging one bug for the other - the former just might be more familiar and you're used to working around it.
What exchange? Any examples?
This situation is not so dis-similar from the GNOME Shell introduction, although that forces you to learn a much more different new way of working and is still a bit less mature. But it'll never have ALL the features GNOME 2 had - yet it is already better in many area's.
I think they better should follow the Mark Shuttleworth's practice: invent new things but name them differently so not to confuse users that this is a new version of Gnome or KDE.
At some point you just have to make the jump, losing a handful of small things for the benefit of having all those others...
I DO NOT have to make any jumps. There are NO benefits from KDE4 for me. There is no single change that is of any use for me. I even cannot say that disadvantages are exceeding advantages because there are no advantages. And of course a fair comparison should be done not with KDE3 as of 2008 but with KDE3(or 4) as it could be if that Plasma Desktop was not pushed instead. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
