There are things about it that get me frustrated, but less than in KDE3. It's still not good enough to keep me away from lighter-weight DMs/WMs, but it appears to impact system resources much less than KDE3 did, in my subjective view. I am giving it a good, long run so I can be sure I have seen most of what it can do. I'm now waiting for the upgrade to come through to see if that version is noticeably better or not. -- Kevin Nathan (Arizona, USA) Linux Potpourri and a.o.l.s.

From: John Bowling on 12 Jan 2010 22:58 Setting the desktop to folder solved that problem. Thanks for the help there. It will take some getting used to after years of kde 3. I tried Xfce for a week and got tired of having to close and reopen file managers (and anything relying on them) to get them to see what was changed since the last open. <snip>

You'll find in KDE4 some weirdnesses where you have to repeat steps twice before they take... again, just things that need to be hammered out as it "matures" (I've been told I'm not allowed to call KDE4 an immature release on another forum).

One thing that I find frustrating is the apparent inability to set the mouse wheel to show "Bookmarks" in KDE4. There may be a way but I'm damned if I can find it. Geoff Beale
