Wow!

I just upgraded to KDE 2.2 with the commands just as you described. Again I
say Wow!

Smooth, slick, faster. Konqueror really works well. I have tested several
sites that used to bomb it. They work great! Icons look good!
Anti-aliasing and other "look and feel" options are very easy to select and
look very slick!

Excelllent work from the KDE developers! I am impressed!
