I too am waiting to see KDE 4.1 appear in the testing list. The KDE devs are always short-staffed, so let's give them a big cheer, but a few words of their plans would help KDE users (smile). > Reading all those KDE4 reviews I really can not understand > why KDE4 may be more useful for me rather KDE3. My estimate (also based on reading & screenshots) is that it is 60 % eye candy, 30 % hype & 10 % useful improvements: the basic motivation is to make it work well with Qt 4 . Dolphin is offered as a simpler alternative to Konqueror file-management, but I use CLI everyday with Krusader for heavy lifting occasionally (I also have Vifm installed, but have little actual use for it); Gwenview apparently has an improved interface; however, the Kicker panel (renamed) is still not fully configurable. Otherwise, KDE 3.5.10 was announced yesterday. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
