4.2 is not in the repos > There are a few things that I do not like - but I don't play about > with setting as much as I used to - well, not for desktop settings. The things I usually adjust are for productive workflow, not aesthetics. I usually only do it immediately after an install. e.g. put shortcuts to the apps that I use on the panel, remove taskbar from panel (to make room for shortcuts) and put a separate task bar at the top of the screen. KDE 4.1 let me put a separate taskbar at the top and remove the taskbar from the bottom panel, but won't let me add app shortcuts to the panel. On 3.5 I could drag a menu item from the "start" menu onto the panel to create the shortcut. Why oh why have the developers gone *backwards!* in functionality? > It is worth upgrading. And the X.n+1 release is going to be great :-))))))) Unless they go even more backwards. Wasn't there a fuss when gnome did the same a few years back? Yuri
