I find I get closest to what I had on real kde running xfce with the kde backend and the kde applications. I use the new QGtkStyle which makes the kde/qt applications use gtk to draw the widgets. and compiz expose and cairo-dock (I don't like the always on top of the xfce panel). This gives me most of what I had with kde 3.5 and compiz except different wallpaper per desktop. I just got done trying kde 4.3 for 3 weeks. It is to much of pain to get it to give me MY desktop not what they fucking want to give me. Most of the applications are as good as the old ones (the only complaints I see are 2 i don't use konq. and amorock). Since the kde devs. now talk about options being bad! sort of like gnome did from 1.4 ->2 i don't see kde ever going back to a useful desktop os again. I think they are going for the new name of KCE K Cellphone Environment. Oh I was the same as you in I used gnome 1.4 and tried gnome 2 could not get used to how unfriendly it was to configuring what you want and moved to kde.

KDE 4.3 Released

Wow. Can you really? If you want a desktop that does nothing but the one or two things that you want then by all means use it. However, Xfce isn't venerated as the desktop that will answer all our prayers because it does just that. Nothing. It's a shell that launches applications and that's about it. Customisation is zilch, pretty much, and I can't fathom how you're satisfied with it in that department after KDE 3.
I know I can. (with the exception of single click desktop icons) I have almost the same desktop set up with xfce+compiz now that I had with kde 3,5+compiz. I run the kde backend,still use krusader as my file manager and yakuake for an xterm. Most of the kde 4x Apps are fine. and the kio still works. Personally I have no problems with kde 4.x except the actual desktop part. It is too much of a pain in the ass to try to get it to configure to give you want you want instead of what someone else decided you should have.
Xfce is fast and more stable then kde 4.2. (I have not ran 4.3 final yet) Right click on gives my what I want. (Yes I own a regular mouse not a old macbook.) I also find that I don't have to fight the xfce panel to give me the layout and size and shape I want. Also now with qt 4.5 I can make kde apps use gtk to draw the widgets so they match my theme.
I did download the 4.3RC a few nights ago after fighting with the desktop to try to get something I could use. I decided it ain't worth it.and ctl+alt+backspace I am afraid for kde that kde 4x is Wordstar2000 all over again. And like ws2k it will in the long run be the cause of loss of momentum and mind share for kde.
qt 4.5 does have a gtk theme that uses gtk to draw the widgets. It allows me to continue using qt applications and have them match my desktop now that i no longer find kde usable as a desktop. The applications are still 1st rate.
From TFA "In one case investigated by Kessler's firm, thieves used computer software transmitted by e-mail to monitor financial information input by the chief financial officer of an Ohio insurance firm. Once they had the information, they diverted insurance payments to their bank account. About $1 million was stolen. " so yes it is an it problem.....sort of.
He Is not the greatest but he IS better then such all time great bad horrible actors as. Robert Wagner,Ron Eli or lest we forget Adam West... Keanu Reeves is bad but he is not yet in the realm of stinkatude as the 3 I mentioned.
I did the same thing last week. For the same reason. So I guess this is a "Me Too!". Nvidia has gotten the last of my money. If they can't release the specs for their I will no longer give them my money. Vote with my wallet.
The difference is that they where complete at the time they hit.0.0 they may have had bugs but they had the features that they said that (2.0 or 2.6 o 5.0 pick one) was supposed to have. kde 4 is loaded with features that are not there yet not buggy, nonexistent . You don't usually have a big release party for Development version but a release should be feature complete..
Also can someone tell me what is with those cartoonish windows around every icon? Is there any way to get rid of this butt ugly "improvement"?
Are you saying I am not the only one who feels that way? I liked gnome 1.4 It could be configured to how YOU wanted it as a desktop. It also played nice with most window mangers (at that time). I wonder if the code base could be updated.
Slashdot Mirror
With these changes I will go back to reading slashdot daily like i used to.
I think there are no white horses. The are classified as grays.
That is called LSD.
I like a faster release cycle. A kid can be born and make it to elementary school between Debian releases. I like 6 month releases cycles.
I think you have it wrong. It is not the blackjack you are supposed to be screwing.
It also damages all many other nightshades like tomatoes,peppers,and potatoes.
It's what used to be called having a friend over to play. New name for today's more regimented child rearing.
Depends on which tech you are talking about the millimetre wave is very good quality picture. The backscatter xray is the low def one you have seen

Dildos do not use batteries. They are self powered.
You are thinking of Vibrators. They use batteries.
