Not exactly this issue, but I have definitely experienced others. I
think KDE 3.2 is somewhat buggy actually, contrary to what is being
said(?).
(No config-reuse from kde3.1)
* Menu editor updates that don't work properly, changes to an Exec-entry
is lost, even though you save it, workaround is to manually edit the
.desktop files in ~/.kde/share/applnk/.
* The menu system in general seems really buggy, especially if you do
too much re-organizing. I did, and had to go back to the default,
because my new menu-hierarchy simply wouldn't work.
($ rm -vrf ~/.config ~/.kde/share/applnk)
* The only improvement I've seen in the meny-area was the addition of
the separators ("Most used", "All apps", "Actions"...). The rest still
is, well, too much. The "More programs"-> submenus need to be dealt
with.
* KHelpcenter takes like 45-60 seconds before it pops up. (not that I
really use it that much=)
* KHotkeys simply don't work for some plain key combinations
* KHotkeys window activation, which I planned to be using for activating
XMMS, only works once, then the window won't activate anymore.
* KWallet crashes if you play around in the Wallet Manager too much
* Some weird kicker-crashes still occur (but very rare)
* 'kdeinit: dcopserver --nosid': this process is not killed properly after
exiting KDE (sometimes), so they can pile up in memory (workaround: add
'killall -9 kdeinit' at the end of /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.2.0 or the
startkde script, or your .xinitrc/.xsession)
* Deleting cookies from Konqueror config sometimes doesn't work, they
come right back if you re-open the config menu later, probably some
KCookieJar problem
* Juk / noatun can suddenly play FLAC files(a very good thing,
obviously), but use like 10 seconds to start playing, and no
seeking (XMMS still lives). Oh, and noatun loves to crash when you're
playing around with the plugins.
* The whole Konsole Configuration/Session/Schema/Font/save defaults stuff is
all a mess (slightly improved in recent KDE versions),
this needs to be simplified or re-worked, IMHO.
* For new users: Two klipper instances are started(in the systray) at
first boot after the KPersonalizer wizard has run. When closing them,
the Kicker crashes. This is not a very pleasant first impression for
possible future users.
* Selecting Console-login (ALT-N) i KDM pops you out in VT-land,
but suddenly KDM takes over in the middle of the session and pops back
up. (Workaround: stop KDM after going into the VT; my setup doesn't
allow VT switching from X)
* Keeping/overwriting the old(kde3.1) config with kde3.2 is, sadly, not
a good idea. It's probably very situation-specific, but a clean start
makes KDE happier, but the user more un-happy, having to spend a lot
of time tuning things back up.(One of the things that happened to me
when re-using the old config, was that some desktop icons kept jumping
to different locations(between sessions), for strange reaons. Perhaps
the coordiantes are stored in a different place in 3.2 vs 3.1)
[KDE Compile-flags: -O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer, QT3.3.0]
I will perhaps find time to report some of these, if they haven't
already been put in KDE's or Gentoo's bugzilla.
Looking forward to 3.2.1.
(There are many very positive aspects of KDE3.2 also(it's the best
Linux DE in existence!), but the topic here was bugs.)
