[gentoo-user] Is kde really buggy or it is me?!

Hi.
I have just installed the kde desktop. I like the overall experience but
its kind of buggy. For example the last problem that I had, system setting
was not responding till the next reboot.
I have not used kde before so, I was wondering that is buggy or I have
configured something wrong?

What settings exactly were you setting? It's been my experience that
changing a handful of disparate values sometimes will not take full
effect until after a reboot, especially if it deals with language or
appearance.

Additionally, KDE is a pretty large DE. If you don't have your graphics
driver installed/loaded, it may continue to be buggy and/or slow.

I just wanted to open system setting to configure  the screen brightness,
but it was not loading.
It is working good is general.

What does it tell you if you run systemsettings from a terminal?

It does not do anything.  Not printing any messages. I know that if I
reboot, the problem will be gone(I had the same problem before) but its a
little annoying.

sorry for the top-posting. I am using my phone, and its a little hard to
edit the text!

I can't say I've ever needed a reboot. Just logging out and in again works for 
me. (I use KDM to log in.)

I've never rebooted before either.  Lately tho, the changes take effect
as soon as I hit apply too.  It is rare that I even log out of my GUI. 
Most of the time is it because a update requires me to so that it can
load the new configs etc. 

Interesting.

I guess my experience with rebooting was due to configuring graphics
drivers and KDE at the same time. My bad.

Nope. It is pretty buggy. I've been using KDE since forever. After the 
switch from KDE3 to KDE4, there have been bugs and glitches in many 
places. When they get fixed, they've already been replaced by new bugs 
and glitches. I don't think there's every been an actually stable KDE4 
release in the project's history.

I got used to it though. When the bugs become part of your daily 
routine, you stop viewing them as bugs.

I actually don't see any issues with KDE4. It currently is more stable then 
KDE3 ever was.
