After posting my ‘KDE4 is dying’ sob story on the Kubuntu mailing list, I was advised to rename my hidden .kde4 directory then try logging in with KDE4. But just after reading the above solution I saw that KDE 4.0.1 would be released soon.
Sure enough, KDE 4.0.1 was released yesterday (Wed, 6th Feb) and I installed the updates, renamed my .kde4 folder and gave it a whirl…
Whoopee!
Ok, so I’ve only been using it for a few hours but already it seems much faster and polished. There’s now a separate resize icon and the border for the plasma widgets is now pale rather than dark, although I personally preferred the darker faded box but, what the hell, I can live with it. I’m not sure if it’s just me having not seen it for about a week but the K button appears smaller (to me anyway). The little ‘add a widget icon thingy’ at the top right of the screen is more faded now and the menu items swing in diagonally. I’m sure it may be handy later on but said icon thingy seems pretty useless at the moment I can add widgets by right clicking on the desktop.
One thing I noticed right away that they’ve fixed is the widget border thing, apart from now being pale, it doesn’t linger after you’ve moved off the icon, like it used to.
And Dolphin seems a bit faster too but, again, that might be just me…
Anyway, welcome back old friend… I did kinda miss you…
