KDE 4.0 Final - A Pre-Alpha Release ?
January 11, 2008 kde.org annouced KDE 4.0 is released ! Unfortunately, this release is not really ready for day to day use. The new interface is beautyful but lacks of configuration options (eg:resizing/masking the taskbar). A lot of application that used to work in kde 3.5 does not work anymore (eg: Kopete has a random behaviour when it talks to some Jabber servers). Some kickass features in applications have been disabled : it is not possible to access directly to a tab in Konsole using a keyboard shortcut, adding custom applet (like a "show desktop button") to the taskbar seems not possible anymore.... Even worse, some settings are not accessible through the control panel anymore, eg: the number of desktops available for application windows can only be configured by right-clicking on the pager taskbar applet, the taskbar options (size, automasking...) seems to be gone, when removing the pager applet, there seems to be no way to enable it back ! After some time, keyboard shortcuts did not work anymore : Alt+TAB just does nothing, Ctrl+Shift+N (new tab in Konsole) split the screen... So do not even think about installing it
