Can you let me know how you find KDE 3.2 ? I've been watching and waiting and considering an upgrade but after reading the "May" edition of Linux Magazine I had decided against it. They give 3.2 a real slating: X server freezing; programs crashing; bugs with kmail, kbear, korganiser; kwallet unusable, why are KDE "going for the stable release"; "steer clear of KDE 3.2 for the time being"; and so on . . . Is it really that bad ?
No. Nowhere near. X server problems may be down to the laptop battery daemon - that's what froze my laptop - but those had been occurring with that laptop ever since KDE2! (More likely to be a dodgy battery than a fault in KDE) KMail 1.6 doesn't have bugs, KMail 1.5 DOES. They installed the wrong version. KMail 1.5 doesn't upgrade nicely if you have an existing and complex configuration. I filed a bug report and got a nice reply that I should upgrade to 1.6 - that's what brings in Kontact. KOrganizer is rock solid. It's the most stable program I know. (And I put it through quite a test most days.) KWallet is FINE. I use it all the time. Never used kbear. Maybe that's just Debian. :-) - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAcapOiAEJSii8s+MRAiDPAJ4niyc56LC4+W4B/l61p1xl9BuQgACdGR8g k7r6viZzNjBxnZjlYuqYR+Q= =8qiO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
