Hi Andrei
I've been looking at KDE4 on oss 10.3 for a while now, and the final
release
(updated today) is looking very good. It's not at the level where I'd
tell
someone to stop using KDE 3.5x for everyday use, but it's stable,
configurable and usable. My big problem is with kdevelop from 3.x with
the
scripting profile - I'm seeing a lot of session crashes that I can't
track
down. I don't think a native kdevelop for 4.x is available (I could be
wrong).
Having said that, I've started to migrate my 3.5x settings to 4.00,
such as
kmail, kopete contacts and settings etc. It's different, but the
change is
very nice, fresh and welcome. I see the point behind the whole
development
effort now, and I'm enthused by the possibilities for the future of
KDE. I
should think by 4.01 I'll have changed over entirely (fingers crossed).
Congratulations to all the opensuse KDE team, you've done a great job
and you
should be suitably proud of your efforts. The desktop looks really
clean and
smart (once I'd moved all the icons from the centre of the screen!) and
the
whole 'feel' of the system is fast, snappy and modern. Top job all
around!
Cheers
Pete

I just installed it, and I have to say, its certainly pretty. I was never a
big fan of the sliding menu, but I am sure I will get used to it. My biggest
issue was with dual-head monitor and a spanned desktop. All of my icons got
dumped to the secondary monitor and couldn't drag them over to the primary.
Instead, they slid off the wallpaper and the wallpaper started scrolling off
the other side of the screen. I am sure by reading through some docs I can
figure that out, too, but it just seemed strange. Until I figure that one out,
I will go back to 3.5 for my everyday stuff.
