You've pretty well summed up my experiences with it too, but I feel that it
works better for others though.
For example, for both beta 3 and beta 4, calling up kcontrol I get an instant
program crash. Could it be that kcontrol is so broken that it crashes when
launched at this stage of the beta process? I'm wondering if it's something
with my setup...
