And to think I have been in KDE 4 for almost a week now. Maybe this is
to soon to remove KDE 3?
My pet peeve so far is the background slide show. Every time I log in,
try to change a setting for the background, or sneeze the wrong way, it
starts looking for the new images, even tho there may not be any. I
have a huge amount of them and it takes almost 2 minutes to "rebuild"
whatever it is building. While it is doing that, it won't do anything
else.
I'm hoping this will change sometime soon. Oh, I also don't like that
the images are random. Most of my images are done as a slide show.
Having them in random order sort of defeats the point.
