While I am at cursing KDE4.1 let me also do it a bit more.
One thing we all accept is KDE 4.1 is "cool" period. Only other desktop more funkier than this is probably a Mac. It has some really nice features. Especially the idea of not having an explicit "desktop" and letting any (and many" folders to become desktop is appreciable. The widgets etc is also good. Unfortunate thing is Compiz STILL doesn't work for me. It blows me all out after the install. But my desktop simply freezes on a restart. I think Compiz does not like my ATI Radeon X1100 :-(
I know SEV, that it works on your ATI but I am so far not lucky with it.
No.. But Compiz is not the reason why I am upset with KDE4.1. In fact I am least bothered about it. Its the shortcuts I am mad about. For some reason KDE4.1 cannot recognize WIN key so ALL my customized shortcuts are just gone. WTF. The main reason why opted for KDE is custom shortcuts (for almost anything and everything, if u knew existence of kmenuedit). I do understand that it is matter of fixing the WIN key issue but I have been unable to do so and that drives me mad.
So ... all this have caused me to lose all the excitement about KDE4.1. Yes, it may be the thing for some of you but I would not mind going back to 1.5.10 if there is an easy way of doing it.

Compiz effects barely work on my ATI. Better than they used to when I use KDE4.1 as opposed to KDE3 or Gnome.
I'm surprised it didn't import setting when you moved. That sucks.
I'm beta-testing Windows 7 BTW.
good info...I was going to go for KDE4.1 but I wudn't trade comfiz for anything else...n kmenuedit is kickass too...so all the more reason 4 me not to shift now...
