I'm not moving at this point, but at any rate, I /really/ dislike KDE - it's gone downhill steadily since v2 and I find KDE4 not only really truly fugly but also damn-near unusable. And yes, I've tried 4.3, and 4.2 and 4.1 and 4.0. All were /horrid./ KDE is huge, complex, fiddly and was beaten to death with the ugly stick, but it was a relatively conventional desktop and it worked. KDE4 is a nightmare agglomeration of nasty widget things trying to pretend to be a traditional desktop. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
