I wonder when you people will learn your lessons: don't use kde! :-P

This is sad, but I think the best addition to the beta after the alphas was kmix supporting ALSA mixers!!!! YEAH! Now I can actually control my digital Audigy from a system tray app.

And Juk doesn't suck for me anymore. Those are my two favorite features right there.

I am getting some wierd behavior. khotkeys crashes in the start, noatun does not play without hickups (that's not new

) -- xmms works just fine, and worse of all -- kdeinit has some leaking and eats all my memory.

Does anybody else have the same problems?

Khotkeys seems to work, noatun dies now and than (on every plugin change) + on startup it kills artsd

Xmms does not work (segfaults with the arts plugin), beep-media-player is ok

I don't see memory problems, well, maybe KDE uses a bit more than 3.1, but I'm not even sure.

KDE 3.2 beta is working very nice for me. it also seems faster .
But ... do you also have the impression, that where isn't anymore big changes in Desktop envirenment ? What are the big changes ? I know where was a rewirte of kwin, but it looks the same for me ... konqueror is good andd fast as always (ok, its faster to browse the internet, but i dont find it to be soooo much faster).
If I hadn't look at "about kde" I would have thought that it's kde3.1. I thing its because everything looks sweet now - in gnome, or in kde. There isn't anymore areas where it's possible to make big improvements.
I thing, I will be much happy because of kdevelop 3, as because of kde3.2 or gnome 2.6.

p.s. : I didn't test kmail, I heard its now much better.

Is it possible to create a script to run the old version of konqueror(3.1) in 3.2? would be handy just to see the differences in rendering for web design. I thought of doing this:-

#!/bin/bash
export PATH="/usr/kde/3.1/bin:${PATH}"
export LDPATH="/usr/kde/3.1/lib:${LDPATH}
export KDEDIR="/usr/kde/3.1"
konqueror

It loads the proper version of konqueror but then when i try visiting a website it says it cant find libkhtml.la

I am finding quite a few behavioural problems, especially with Noatun.. XMMS also won;t run at all.

Also experiencing frequent lock ups with kicker, seems it just randomly freezes. Even Konsole fails to redraw properley at times.

Kmail + IMAP breaks preview pane.

I like many of the new features but not stable enough yet for a useful desktop.

I have an important question to ask you.
Are you having all these problems, because you did not install correctly KDE or because of bugs. It is very disturbing if it is the second, since KDE 3.2 is being released in a month or so.

Could someone be kind enough to post any screenshots for the rest of us, who are not brave enough to try unstable things.

Thanks
