Terence </pre> </blockquote> Hmm, I tried for about 2 hour, and was... disappointed. - I was damn unable to create a launch icon on the desktop !!! I could create a standard icon "widget", but I could not change the icon itself, nor could I give it a command line to launch... Can we put other things then widgets on the desktop ?? I can't change the Desktop icone size, and since I only have one, I like it beiing BIG :'( - tried to run kde4 inside Xephyr/KDE3 by running << (Xephyr -screen 1280x1024 :1&) && export DISPLAY=:1 && /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde && export DISPLAY=:0 >> : there, I see the desktop icon I have in KDE3, but I also see a trash.dektop file that I don't see in KDE3. weird. File is in ~/Desktop thought... When I click on it, I have an error about malfomed URL : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="trash:/">trash:/</a> . - Widgets : why are there such thick borders on those widgets ? That's horrible, looks like vista. The "get new widgets" button it's always greyed - is this normal ? - fonts : I feel reading text is painfull : maybe it's because of the dirty grey, or because of the fonts, but I feel KDE3's fonts are much more readable. I'm actually looking at Dolphin both in Kde4 and Kde3 : i really feel latest is better. screenshot is <a href="http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/9292/dolphinkde4vskde3qt3.png">here</a> (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/9292/dolphinkde4vskde3qt3.png">http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/9292/dolphinkde4vskde3qt3.png</a>) I think I found a way to enhance this, and it is by forcing fonts DPI to 96 in "Computer > system setting KDE4 > Fonts". I also changed those fonts that were at 8px to 9px. - Kmenu : it looks like it's as unusable as Vista's one. Fortunately, we are allowed to keep an old style one. But is is not as polished as the Kmenu I've got in KDE3 : maybe it's because in the actual one, I've got this nice theme/picture on the left ? Also, I can't get the icons in that standard menu as big as in KDE3. This standard Kmenu also displays artifacts when openning submenus... This is it for now, I hope all the anoyances we've all already seen are gone soon in a maintenance release :] I'll try to report all this at bugs.kde.org, as suggested ... Best wishes, Fred P.S : by the way : I got Kde4 crashing when trying to logout from the xephyr session </body> </html>
