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...)

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.
