Re:What use...

...is this without a screenshot of some sort!!

Why don't you read about the added features and bugfixes ? There is much more to KDE than just eye candy.

For me, it's very useful to read that client side IMAP filtering is at last beeing added (but still in progress, though), and thus I can use KMail and ditch Thunderbird. However, I've no need to see a screenshot of a dialog box for IMAP filtering rules.

Links for source, Suse, a screenshot

Submitter here (w00t!).

The link for the source and Suse packages didn't get through for some reason.

Also, since I can't find any screenshots anywhere, here is a (highly compressed -- don't kill my server!) screenshot of my own desktop with some of the cool features. You can see that they changed the Plastik window decoration a bit, and added a nifty "Lock/Unlock Panels" menu option to quickly hide and unhide the handles beside each applet. The new pager applet is really cool, with the ability to go transparent and show different program windows (desktop 2 has KPilot running) that you can drag around from desktop to desktop inside the applet!

So far no bugs have cropped up either, which is good. I really suggest you check it out.
