I like KDE, mostly. I just installed Kubuntu 9.10 on a spare laptop, its the first time I tried it since 4.0 came out. I like the look and feel. However, the usability of some of the apps continue to disappoint. Some dialog boxes are too small to contain all of the text. The file selection dialog is tiny when it first opens--its only big enough to show three files. It makes me wonder if the KDE devs even test these things. The plasma widgets are cool, but I never get to see them much because of all the open windows. I could just click the 'show desktop' button, but there isn't one!<br>
<br>KPackageKit has to be the worst package manager ever. The list of obvious design errors is so long, I don't know where to start. I wonder if I can use synaptic on KDE?<br><br>Chris<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

For anyone that hasn't tried out KDE4 and its plasma widgets yet, there<br>
is some interesting and fun eye candy to play with.<br><br></blockquote></div>
