Make sure you pool your efforts with this guy: http://khtml-win32.sourceforge.net/
This effort progressed quite quickly after the announcement of Safari, but appears to have slowed a tad... however that doesn't stop all of those budding win32 open source programmers getting into it! I'd love to see this proceed...
...and I can promise you, the screen (the ultrasharp 15" model) has no problems that you would notice with blurring in any FPS, DVD playback, etc. The _only_ visual artifact I've noticed so far is when there is a full intesity, primary colour object moving _very_ fast on a dark background, and then there's a very slight lag in clearing that colour on the edge (hard to describe, but it's not a problem in-game). It's one of the most impressive things about the laptop. I guess it uses the technology discussed on Slashdot a while back where the individual pixels are set to the maximum/minimum voltage while they are approaching the desired colour.
Linux support is pretty good too, just waiting for better support of suspending, speedstep and docking/undocking (the docking station has it's own PCI bus - can linux cope with PCI bus hotplugging yet?).
As already noted, KWin does have this capability now. However, you could always have run a different window manager (instead of KWin) with KDE, and things should work properly (as long as your replacement window manager is NetWM compliant).
Xft fonts are broken with Qt 3 and certain combinations of XFree86... to solve this: remove the LD_BIND_NOW=true from in front of the kdeinit line in the file "startkde". There is a significant performance penalty though.
This is supposedly fixed in XFree86 4.2 but I am having problems getting it to work.
A patch specific to this was applied a while back - I think in 2.4.10. It fixed the problem in my case. You will see "Trying to stomp on Athlon bug" in one of the very first boot messages - this is the fix.
This might help, at least for the emails - email can be copied out of Outlook / Express by copying from your inbox / local folders to folders in an IMAP account. You could then copy them back into your preferred mail client, but I'd recommend sticking with IMAP...
I agree. The part I like most about Ogg is that if you have a decent stereo setup (speakers separated appropriately, or headphones), the difference in stereo separation is very noticeable. Ogg encodes the left & right channels separately, where mp3 has a hacked one stream + stereo hints setup.
You are confusing separate issues here. The.org.au domain is the only one affected by this change. I too have been on the receiving end of a long wait for a simple domain redelegation. As other posters have said, the critical factor here is that for whatever reason the service being provided was inadequately slow.

Popup options in kde 3: Allow, Ask, Deny, Smart. That enough? ;-)

More new ioslaves coming in kde 3 are WebDAV and WebDAV over SSL.
