Mind you KDE seemed to be as bad :( I can't think of any problems I've had running KDE 1.1 or 1.1.1 - it's been very stable for me. The only thing is that it seems to be fairly memory-hungry and my machine (48MB) is swapping a lot more than I'd like. Mind you, 1.0 was -terrible- - in the first 10 minutes of my using it it ate my mouse pointer and dumped core twice.
