I recently downloaded and installed the new KDE for my SuSE 6.4 machine. While I love the new look and widget set, I have a couple major complaints: 1. Is it me, or has it gotten much more complicated to use? When I first installed it, it took me almost an hour to figure out how to turn those blasted sounds off when you log in and out. What gives? I think the usability of the UI is starting to take a plunge, which is kind of disappointing. 2. I selected a website out of my Netscape bookmarks with the right-click menu and opened up the glimmer web page. It loaded the page with konqueror, which was fine and all, until I went to download the RPM. Suddenly Konqueror kept crashing. I then copied and pasted the URL into netscape and downloaded it. I was doing something with kpackage and whatnot, installing the rpm into my system, and then I get another crash message. Now I have no icons, and no right-click menu. Is it me or is the KDE still in beta? What gives? Am I going to have to continually reboot X(or even the whole system) just to keep the KDE alive? Should I switch to GNOME?(a baited question if I ever asked one...) ------------------------------------------- Lucas Vogel, Software Developer Exponent Failure Analysis Associates, Inc. lvogel@exponent.com (623)587-6739 From Don Harrop Wed Nov 22 21:59:15 2000 From: Don Harrop (Don Harrop) Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 14:59:15 -0700 (MST) Subject: It's a sad day........ In-Reply-To: Message-ID: How does it look through Netscape. We use Lotus Notes here at work and when we connect to it with Netscape 4.X or IE it pulls it up. Netscape 6 has issues though.
