Yes. Thanks for your information. But this reinforces my opinion that release of kde4 intented as a new desktop has been very soon. I have not in mind now what specific applications fails or which not; what are these issues and what not; but generally speaking the feeling is that it's not finished yet and that there are too many work left to do.
That attitude finished - not finished is OK in closed development where company set goals, write them in product specifications, develope and test it, and customer comes in when all is done.
The opensource is public development where developers need users to test software as it is developed.
If we would wait kernel to be finished and than start to use it, than kernel would be playgorund for developers forever and no user will ever get chance to use it. The same is valid for any other opensource project. If you look KDE3, is it finished? Where are specifications written before KDE development started that we can take and compare with resulting software?
When all new things still in development you speak of are completely made, that would be the D-Day.
As mentioned, if everybody will wait than there will be no D day.
Meanwhile, I wait...
Wait for what? Others to write and test software. I guess it would be fair to take your part in the development process. Use it and complain about things that you don't like.
Well, your comments are alright. But I have to insist on it: all people I know says the same, kde4 is still unstable. When kde3 was "finished" o tagged "stable" any of its apps crashed or if that, they were the minimum expression. I use kde3 and konqueror3 works (all plugins are alright and it doesn't crash or freeze); near every widget or app is completely configurable. Kde4 is not. So, what else can I say? It's doesn't blame on me that I have to remove .kde4 home directory all time, or use any other navigator, because Konqueror4 crashes even when I enter Packman site, a site where is not flash plugin, for instance. I understand opensource is always developing, but I consider a very important thing to have a "stable" release, completely usable, configurable and reliable, and kde4 is not like this. Sorry, it's my opinion. Cheers, AOP.
