Okay, so I'm late getting on the KDE2 bandwagon; I like Gnome :p
At any rate, I have installed the latest kde*-1.9[23]-* packages and tried
them, though not what you would call extensively. And I have a couple gripes:
1) kcontrol segfaults immediately (1.93-4mdk package), not allowing me to
modify anything.
2) konqueror. This looks nice, certainly better than old KFM. But, it has
the same (wrong) behavior that Netscape 4.x has with transparent PNG's. It
fills the transparent portion with indexed color 0. Having not tried the
latest Opera or Netscape 6, I can tell you that the only Linux browsers I
have seen that handle them correctly are SO and Mozilla. I doubt it would
be practical to look for a fix before the final release, as it probably
isn't considered a real "bug," but it is annoying as many of us try to
migrate away from GIF's.
3) It's much slower starting than 1.2 was. Admittedly my system isn't
"state-of-the-art," it's a P200 with 96MB and Voodoo 3 video, but it gets
the job done :).
4) One of my old 1.2 gripes: it doesn't scale menu icons. Some apps only
have 32x32 or 48x48 icons, and as such they throw off the look of the menus.
I thought Dia and Eterm were bad, but look at the Multimedia/Graphics menu
at the entry for Pixie. This is absolutely huge, at least 100 pixels wide.
Well, that's probably it for now.
