Still not liking it. The system tray widget doesn’t work right, plasma crashed on me three times (or, actually, crashed twice and black-screen-of-death once), and each crash undid all the changes I’d done to that point. KDETwitter looks cool, but is too big to be usable (can only fit last 3 twitters on a 1680×1050 monitor), and doesn’t seem to be able to *post* twitters… I really can’t wait for KDE 4.1 to arrive, so we can get out of Beta.

I like the concept of KDE4 but the bottom bar is a deal breaker. I am sticking with Gnome. Compiz + AWN + Gimmie is truly awesome. IMHO KDE cannot touch that combo.

Really liking it. While I’m still sticking to Gnome as the desktop enviroment, I use Kate & Dolphin quite regularly now.

And KSnapshot trumps the gnome version.

PS – I like it so far. I’m still not using it exclusively (I use KDE3.x) for my everyday work, but it’s very nice and I look forward to it being a stable DE.

Hi Tom,
I just added the updates to my KDE4 install, and I can confirm that the resizable panel is NOT in this update. That is one of my dislikes so far – 1st thing, I always make the panel tiny.

Other than that, I can confirm your above findings.

Take care,
M.
