Why I Switched from GNOME to KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Three weeks ago, I switched my main desktop from GNOME to KDE. The switch was
| not a rejection of GNOME, nor an unreasoning enthusiasm for KDE. It was based
| on my determination to learn about a side of GNU/Linux that I had been
| partially neglecting, and a growing appreciation of KDE's innovations on the
| desktop. And, thanks to the attitudes that GNU/Linux has taught me, the
| switch needed almost no adjustment period, either.

Systray finally in action
,----[ Quote ]
| As Aaron noted, the client library for the new system tray specification has
| finally landed in kdelibs, as "experimental" (i.e. it will probably still see
| some refactoring for 4.4, assuring is as good as possible)

Planet gets boring on feature freeze
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve had a few busy days closing Lancelot bug reports. There is only one left
| that is relevant for KDE 4.3, that is only one that is confirmed and not a
| feature request.

KDE 4.3 - early preview
,----[ Quote ]
| Like it or not, KDE 4.3 will be a great leap forward in this environment’s
| development. I won’t hesitate to say, it will be a bigger one than KDE 4.1 to
| 4.2. Interestingly enough, my compilation of development snapshot worked
| stable and jerk-free - no major issues there.

wallpapers and other bobbles for 4.3
,----[ Quote ]
| We have a number of new Plasma components lining up to make it into 4.3. Not
| least among them is a geolocation DataEngine, making it absolutely trivial
| for anything Plasma to get at the information either via a GPS device or by
| looking up the location of your network address if you are online. Along with
| a handful of new widgets, some I've already written about recently, we also
| have no less than six new wallpaper plugins that may make it into 4.3!

Air and KDE 4.3.
,----[ Quote ]
| Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the
| beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what
| Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a
| more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but
| to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now.

Five Improvements For KDE 4.3
,----[ Quote ]
| The new year has already brought us a nice treat in KDE 4.2. I found it to be
| a very solid desktop, yet with some issues that keep it from 100% perfection.
| I’m happy to say that 4.2 occupies all of the computers that I use, yet there
| are still some serious problems that remain. Last year I did an article
| similar to this one, detailing the things I feel would make the KDE desktop
| rise to a higher level of perfection, and now that KDE 4.2 is released, it’s
| time to do it again.

Straight from KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 trunk)
,----[ Quote ]
| I guess this is everything for this week, as you can see KMail is pretty
| useful, easy to set up (if you use the first run wizard) and, with some
| tweaks here and there, you can get a impressively clean, uncluttered, yet,
| useful interface :-)
