Agreed, the new Javascript is a great improvement, and I can actually use it on a day-to-day basis rather than the somewhat bloated Mozilla. My webmail account at my domain host previously didn't work in Konq 2.2, but it works great now. :) I'm not sure that in general there are really enough improvements to actually be worthy of a change in major release number (from 2.x to 3.x) because it feels more like a 2.3 release than a 3.0. The KDE 2.2 debs (Woody anyway) were just as fast in my experience. Unless there is anything you desperately need in KDE 3, I wouldn't rush madly to upgrade until the debs are made. Just my opinion anyway. :) -- Daniel Rees e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
