I'm sure it's a swell program, however i find it hard to imagine that every kde user should require kmail. if i have to install it to use the rest of kde, i'll do it and i've done before.. it's a bit like having to install outlook express to use WindOS... .. >> i'll give kde4 another try (when it's fixed) and see if it can still be >> configured to be simple and straightforward, in the meantime xfce4 seems >> to be more stable and doesn't have plasma (yet). > > When I use plasma as kicker+kdesktop (what I had in KDE 3), it never > crashes.
