upgrades

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Not to discourage new users and in general, I for one have been using kde4.1 since I installed it and have gotten used to it and now like it.  It ain't so bad. I was disappointed when I lost my desktop and found out through NoOp that I could download plasma desktop or something similar and get it back as a folder view. I still like the classic K menu better than the new 4.1 version and have both installed in case I get into trouble finding something. I just wish there was a better flashp-lugin-non free for the X86_64 version of Hardy. Flash videos play fine using the x86_64 plugin until you close out the first window running a flash video then wont play again until you restart X or reboot.  Some widgets quit working like show desktop after one upgrade also.  But these are rather small issues and should be corrected in time.  I admit I'm no power user and it may not suit some but the eye candy is good. You can also run both kdes selecting which one from
 the login screen.  Why not run both as eventually the 3.5x will die away.  Just my 2 cents.
