can be deceiving of course, but these were the experiences of the first half hour of using KDE 3.2: - Nice looking! Very snappy to respond, and some very nice eye candy all over. - Kgpg agent seems not to start automatically anymore. - My shortcuts to certain programs like mail don't work. - Someone updated my entire K-Menu. The MenuEditor however works very well, so that was fixed swiftly. - Automatic login (without password), seems to give me an authorisation error. - Kmail complains that my smtp server doesn't allow AUTH. I don't know if Kmail just didn't use it before, or if my smtp server just happened to change when I was updating, because my settings are the same as they were before the upgrade. - Nice eyecandy! :) - The fonts seem to have grown just a tad. Not a bad look though. - Where are my SuSE window decorations? I can understand the settings have been changed, but I can't get the old window decorations back. Too bad, cause though the KDE ones look good, I preferred the SuSE setup. - Why is there a jumping icon next to my mousepointer when the computer is busy? Cute, but still. :) - Managed to make my kicker fully transparent. Very nice touch, though now I dislike the little menu triangle arrows. Wonder if they can be turned off... Overall I'm satisfied with the upgrade. I'll have to see how stable it works in the next few days, and if I can get rid of some of the problems mentioned above, but I think it's a very good new version of KDE. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
