Tee hee, I gave up KDE 4.2 after the 3rd segfault :P KDE 4.2 is a big
improvement over previous version, but It is still not ready (for me)
yet :) And one more thing, why the hell KDE 4.2 has to install mysqld
so it can run akonandi, KDE 4.2 alone consume 480MBs RAM (that is 4
times more than vanilla XP and Xfce), did I do something wrong here? I
heard it is pretty light (someone even said it is lighter than xfce).
Maybe KDE 4.3 will be ready for me, til then, I will stick with
Xfce/KDE 3.5
That leave me a idea, maybe firefox slugginess is due to the fact that
it is use GTK2 ? (repaint problem?). There once was an effort trying
to port Firefox to QT, but it is dead already, too bad. That is why I
am waiting for Chrome on Linux :)
