Well, I've become disenchanted with Ximian desktop and am returning to KDE. Ximian desktop is pretty, I can say that much. But red-carpet falls short and ends up being simply a novel idea in my book. It doesn't pay attention to dependencies for anything I didn't install via red-carpet, and several times I've had problems because of red-carpet.
After installing a suggested update to my control panel, my sound was FUBAR. Installing an update of PAN via red-carpet didn't yield desirable results either. It instead replaced pan with P.ost A. N.ote. I've had other problems also, most because of red-carpet. It also refuses to see some libraries (installed by it's very own installer) that's in my path. The funny thing is, that it recognizes other libraries that are in the exact same directory. And last but not least, I don't "feel" like I'm in control. I'm a hopeless KDE fanboy I guess. I will say this however, Evolution is a beautiful e-mail client. I easily prefer it over everything else I've tried, and it's the one thing I'll continue to use from the folks at Ximian, because it works perfectly fine in KDE. :-) I'm a window manager slut of course, and I'll probably try something else out sooner or later. Just as long as KDE doesn't know I dream about Enlightenment at night, we can maintain a working relationship. :-) -- "Be true to yourself and you will never fall" - Beastie Boys ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
