KDE 2.2 Tagged

ByTor-2112 writes "According to dot.kde.org, KDE 2.2 has been tagged out. Awesome." Plans were originally to release 2.2 today, but scheduled release is now next Monday, to allow some time for more stability/speed work. 2.2 rocks my world. Excellent work on the part of all the KDE developers. Other dates mentioned are 2.2.1 in September, and opening work up on 3.0, which will hopefully come out at the beginning of 2002.

    FWIW, the Ximian guys (led by Miguel) always wanted GNOME 2.0 to be Bonobo based, while the Red Hat guys (led by Havoc) seem to be avoiding Bonobo at all costs. The fact that the GNOME core won't be Bonobo-ized for 2.0 provides some insight into which company has more clout in the project.

    I used to be firmly in the GNOME camp but when KDE 2.2beta1 was introduced into Debian I thought what the hell and gave it a shot. Now I hate using GNOME. It was like.. What have I been using this unstable, ugly GNOME shit for when the whole time I could of been using this wonderful piece of software. In fact I uninstalled all my GNOME apps because they make me ill.

  3. Throbbing Icon question by ahde · · Score: 0, Troll

    What if, say, I launch Mozilla, and would like to write a device driver and design a new theme and do my taxes while it loads -- is that throbbing icon going to follow my mouse around and get in the way when I type? It seems like it could get annoying.
