I find kde4 to run a lot faster and smoother than kde3 plus it can do things that kde3 could not. Owe i did not say kde was the best thing. say i was watching a youtube video the zoom function enables me to enlarge the video so i don't strain my eyes. expo is good to move apps around. I saw that you had some thing similer in E! are but a few. Shaded is another one but i would say you have that too. > houghi
