[Flightgear-devel] two questions about new scenery

2003-09-06 Thread Ima Sudonim

What are the major cons that folk have found with running kde? It gets better all the time, but so far I've found that it's a bit slow. The mail reader, KMail, is great. The file manager, Konqueror, is pretty slow, but then part of that is my fault, as I have it set up to show files as icons
