Here are some random notes of mine. Some are tips, some are problems, some are just observations. * I am getting the "vista-effect" as my older 2.8Gz P4 / Radeon 9000 aren't up to the task of KDE4. I have desktop effects turned off. I've heard some rumours that Qt 4.5 may improve things, but I really do need to get a new computer. The days of refurbishing older hardware by installing *Nix may be drawing to an end... * Any hints or tips on "slimming down" KDE? * The default font was "sans serif", which is not aliased (I'm not sure what it's aliased to). Changing this to bitstream vera sans solved the problem. * I was getting nepomuk cores, so I turned off nepomuk in the Desktop Search configuration page. This isn't used much in KDE4, so it's safe to turn off. * Konsole does not have a title in the title bar, only a ":". This is configurable in the Tabs Titles page, but it isn't working. * All my KDE3 apps are showing up in my menus. I've even set XDG_DATA_DIRS, to no effect. Does anyone know of an easy way to segregate them out into their own menu? * The main menu is very slow, whether it's kickoff or classic. Opening up a submenu may take ten to fifteen seconds, with some noticeable disk activity. Very annoying. * Setting the folderview as a desktop activity crashes plasma. Using a normal folderview is okay. -- David Johnson _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
