Everytime I restarted, Kate (the editor) and Kopete kept starting up: I didn&#8217;t find any references to these programs in the regular location (.kde4\/Autostart), so I did a grep on ps (as in &#8216;ps -e | grep kate&#8217; and &#8216;ps -e | kopete&#8217;), killed both instances and this seems to work. There&#8217;s probably a file (cache) related to this, but you know, this is Linux and it doesn&#8217;t hurt to kill an app so once in a while.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The Wifi Manager: Don&#8217;t forget to install the WIFI manager (KWifiManager): it doesn&#8217;t get installed by default! Additionally, to force <em>autoconnection<\/em> to your router, you <em>must<\/em> store the router password in KWallet.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. I cannot stand the fact that if I choose to Shutdown KDE, that I have to confirm this in a second dialog box.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Both Dolphin and Gwenview currently don&#8217;t support RAW image view or thumbnail generation. Nautilus (Gnome&#8217;s filebrowser) does.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. If you keep the control key pressed for a couple of seconds, Konqueror will show the shortcut keys for all links and buttons currently in view. This works <em>pretty<\/em> good.\n<\/p>\n<p>KDE starts up pretty fast but takes a while to close off, that is, longer than shutting down Gnome. I&#8217;ve seen Windows Vista take longer to close off. Heck, even KDE starts up faster than a (fully) loaded Windows XP. Additionally, I have the feeling that (for example) Konqueror doesn&#8217;t properly dispose of its resources. However, I will readily admit that I made KDE the default desktop environment for this computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Observations on KDE 4.1: 1.
