I just installed KDE 5 in order to try how one application works on
it, and also due to my curiosity. The applications that depend on it:
konsole and dolphin, doesn't work well if KDE5 is not itself the one
that's running. In dolphin, some icons don't show. konsole also
doesn't show some icons when it uses them as its own icon. It seems
to be like a problem with rendering stuff that require some services
running. This happened before and after I changed appearance
settings. I even cleared cache and stuff. Firefox seems to have been
affected by it as well. It doesn't show the scroll bar button, and
some widget borders looked a little different. Perhaps this is also
just about Gtk3, but I'm not sure about it since stuff work when KDE
itself is running.
KDE5 or Plasma itself seems to have gotten much more responsive and
faster compared to the last time it was in 4, but I still find XFCE4
easier to configure to appear and work the way I want a desktop
environment should.
I just downgraded konsole and dolphin for now, and also rebuilt
firefox with gtk2.
