But now it seems everything is upside down. KDE is visually more entertaining, but they changed the file manager which I do not like, and I could not find a real advantage over Gnome. Gnome at least was working fine with my twin monitor environment, KDE failed on that too (altough I could move the mouse cursor over the othe screen having the original aka. pure X cursor over there). KDE has this applet thingy similar to MacOS, but then I could not get it activated by pressing the wheel (as it was pressing the ball on a Mac mouse. And also when I upgraded to the 4.2 there were big red X on some items on the desktop saying some components are missing or misconfigured. Well, I just upgraded following the procedure, so I guess the error is not in the user... Also what annoyed me is that the selecion followed the mouse but as a slow reaction. Anyway, I stuck to Gnome for a while, I had no time left for further playing around the OS.
