You should be able to resize a note, and not only through a somewhat obscure combination. I've found no bugs reported against the problems you said, and I've also found one that is important to me: I use plain text notes, and but I set different one different font in each one. This settings were not kept after the upgrade. I can set the font, and then write _new_ text with this font, though. All three things are worth reporting, IMHO.

Re: My assesment
I'm not criticising Sidux. I know it's a great team and a wonderful distribution. If there is anyway to keep the legacy KDE functionality I would appreciate it. As I can't myself liking KDE 4.x any more than I like Gnome. I hope you will be doing an xfce release as well for 2009.02. My immediate solution was a complete reinstall of 2009.01 in order to continue using KDE 3.x What I miss most in KDE 4 is a good taskbar, and konqueror just as it was in 3.x On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 9:37 PM, Ferdi Thommes wrote: > Am Sunday 12 April 2009 02:32:10 schrieb George Bodley: > > KDE 4.2 is a huge mistake.

Re: My assesment
Concerning konqueror, apart the search plugin that I am also missing (and unless I did not looked carefully enough to available packages or the settings), it is better than before IMHO - in particular pages with flash, with which version 3.5 is/was bad, frankly (nspluginviewer fault, perhaps). Just curious about what is wrong with Konqueror in KDE 4. Thanks, Cheers, JD.

During my dist-upgrade konqueror did not get upgraded (see my post "apt-get dist-upgrade followup") and I had to did it manually, clearly forgot about this plugin. Shame. Thanks, Cheers, JD.
I can not run KDE - it simply hangs on booting when splash screen shows blinking HDD.
Good day. I can not run KDE - it simply hangs on booting when splash screen shows blinking HDD. I use therefore WM for now, but when I run KDE apps. I see long hanging before I actually see the apps. itself: kate (this one complains on mime/types), korhanizer, k3b, terminal-emu... If You have any suggestion how I can solve it, please, share it with me. It is Lenny, KDE 3.5.9 . I did install KDE latter after installing my base system - therefore, I never seen it is working on the installation.

KDE 4 version of amarok, koffice, etc. in unstable
Hi! When do you plan to move all KDE 4 applications to unstable? Because currently, e.g. amarok uses the .kde4 directory while the KDE base system uses .kde which is ... messy. regards matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I might be able to help with that, if it means what I think it does -- getting debian bugs that are not packaging bugs and filing them upstream, is that it? If that's the case, I would be more than happy to help, even though I don't have much spare time either. Also, I must have missed the e-mail with the graphs, as I have no idea what you're talking about, so if you could point me to them and also to some beginner tips, that would be great. I have said that many times before, but here goes again a huge thank you to all Debian/KDE devs (well, to all of Debian for what it's worth) -- you are doing a fantastic job! And that's from someone that has used slink, rex, bo, hamm and slink on and off, and that still have some potato and woody installer CDs lying around (if all that is worth anything!)! :D Cheers, Cassiano Leal
