Hi, some thanks to the good packaging :D Installation from testing is a bit difficult, though, and really needs a lot of packages from unstable, even ones that I would not think of like cdparanoia and lots of others (although it makes no sense to request version 3a9.8-7 when version 3a9.8-6 is present!).
So there it is, KDE3.0.4. Works great, although at first I cannot see any advances to KDE2.2.2 at all. The proposed feature that it might load faster simply does not exist (here). The font handling did not get any better. Klipper can be on its own in the control bar although it would make more sense when it simply stays with the system tray. The Liquid (0.9.5-1) style got a lot worse, though. The translucency is unusable because it is crippled. The problem is that the menus "unfold" in a short animation (how can I turn this off?). This creates some kind of background image instead of the translucency effect. BTW, are there plans to make X use an alpha channel for such things? XFree5? ;) Beside that: it is looking much better than the default style. An advantage is that sound now also works without starting artsd (I never did). Interesting but sadly incomplete: noatun does not want to start without artsd running, so I use xmms. But xmms has still the same problem: I can only choose between a working dock icon (systen tray) or the "show no window managers window frame around my window, so that attaching playlist, etc. works". Still, there is nothing that can be done with kstart to work around this :( Kmail now works quite a bit faster on downloading mails :) But on the change to the new version, the gpg setting got lost - well, it took some work to go through all the options again. Kscd works a lot better now, especially the track names display is ot broke anymore :) Finally: a thanks to the developers, packagers and the bug hunting community...
