Hi all, Some notes on my recent 18hr compile of KDE2. Bugs. On startup, artsd does not start successfully. Kaiman crashes when trying to load mp3 files, rather, I get an error that says "artsd not started". Second kwrited does not start successfully and I get a crash panel. Third, konsole does not start and I get a crash panel. Trying to start the embedded konsole in konqueror crashes konqueror. Fourth, konqueror does not handle javascript correctly, and yes I did enable it. Kpm the gtop like app for kde does not get compiled. So the process monitor applet does not work. Konqueror does not load all images all the time. When quitting from the KOShell without saving something, it crashes. It still cannot create devices like the cd; keeps giving false error of bad permissions. I'm sure there are others. Just goes to show that *.0 releases are usually wishful thinking. Even FBSD 4.0 had some big issues and of course FBSD is highly respected. Overall the functionality is really good, konqueror is pretty fast, and having one app/viewer window is cool. If they could manage embeddable mp3 playing like what Nautilaus is doing that would be cool. Konqueror is a nice netscape replacement, because it's much lighter and mozilla is way to huge and still too slow. The new kwin window manager is really fast and quite stable. Most of the kde utils and apps are really nice. I'm surprise Gnome 1.2 has features still not present in KDE2. Here I go back to playing with WindowMaker, Afterstep and Sawfish... I can't decide if I like the all-in-one attitude of konqueror or the click-and-launch the best app of other file managers. Hmmm... -Nate __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger - Talk while you surf!
