KDE 4.2

Unless I have used some pre-release (which I doubt- the kdemod guys told us this is the final code!), KDE 4.2 is still buggy and unusable for any serious desktop user.

I do believe KDE 4.3 will be genuinely good though... but up to then, allow me to use something else: I don't have much time to spare with pre-beta "finals"... :P

Well, this bug (which is over a year old) is still marked as "NEW", so I guess not.

I don't know how many users would see the lack of this feature as a "deal-breaker" (ie enough of a reason not to use KDE4), rather than as an annoyance.

 

I'd like to see a live CD with KDE 4.2 so I can try it out, I guess this will come out with 2009.1 (in March/April).

Crashes all the time here...

I didn't have such problems with 4.1.3

I believe it has something to do with my 7600GS videocard. I have tried the newest nvidia beta drivers (rev.85 and 87), but it still crashes after a simple rightclick on the desktop. This ain't nice.

I've read that disabling the composite features from the xorg.conf should stop the crashes, but I simply don't feel like using a fully hardware accelerated videocard with composite disabled!

It doesn't seem a widespread bug. A quick search of the archlinux bug tracker shows only one bug reporting crashes, with only one reporter, who has ATI.

I know you're using KDEmod, but if it's really a KDE bug, then it should be just as common on both.
