:O
my digital clock plasmoid is set to show seconds!!!!
damn! is that leak fixed now?
and yes, i notice that too, 4 hours of working, and the computer
becomes unbearably slow. i type few sentences in firefox just to see
the letter appearing 1letter per second, and i have to wait after each
sentence till the writing is over.
plasma in general is very flaky when it comes to mouse clicks. i can
very easily crash plasma by clicking right-click and left-click
rapidly for 5~6 times on random spots of the desktop, BOOM, plasma
crashes.
some plasmoids make plasma even crashier, like the win-embed plasmoid,
one wrong click on it, and plasma crashes. typing something in the
dictionary plasmoid freezes the whole desktop till the dictionary
completes the online fetching of defintion.and may god help you if
your connection sucks, and the connection gets interrupted during
fetching, a very nice few minutes freeze ;)
and on and on the list goes.
