KDE 4.1

[Alain Muls]

Hi kubuntu-users

 From time to time, in the evening, I try out the KDE4.1 on Hardy Heron 
for which I have a separate partition set up. I find the look and feel 
(mostly) very nice and the KDE applications respond faster (eg. startup 
time) than in the v3.5 versions I daily use.

However, the 4.1 version is by far not as stable as I wanted and does 
not perform the stuff promised in reviews of this new version.

I find that Konqueror web browsing runs fast and smooth except that it 
crashes quite often.
Also the new panel crashes and I loose the window decorations quite 
often. I do not know which command to run to restart these items.
I also tried the new kword and kspread, good startup speeds, very nice 
looking, but stability is not there.
I also tried to convert the mail from thunderbird to kontact but this 
failed, the kmail component could not read it when I pointed it to the 
converted ~/Mail/Mozilla file.

Does anybody else experience the same kind of problems.
When will kde v4 be ready for daily desktop use?

Bye/Alain
