Since I have both KDE and Gnome installed side by side, I ended up with a couple of weird errors, which (like magic) were corrected by apt-get. I was only surprised to see that most of my settings were gone. On the flip-side, KDE seems improved: particularly graphically. I see that window transparency was adopted, plus, that the fonts seem to have been smoothened out (smaller?). The default &#8216;task&#8217;bar looks a lot like KDE 3 (again) and I&#8217;m almost positive that this was done to help people migrate to KDE 4.\n<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, we drove into town: the last couple of days the sun managed to break through after we had that downpour of rain at the beginning of the week. Good for Halloween. Talking about Halloween: we were better prepared this year, however, we didn&#8217;t get the amount of kids we expected, which means that for the next couple of weeks I&#8217;ll be spending my days eating candies and that. Anyway: the nights will be getting shorter and this weekend we&#8217;ll be moving the hands of time an hour back. I think this is either a week or a couple of weeks later than they did in Europe.\n<\/p>\n<p>The word &#8216;panchromatic&#8217; is in my head and I can&#8217;t seem to shake it off: The dog is, for example, panchromatically panting her lungs out. The little kitten (&#8216;Puff&#8217;) is slowly coming out of her panchromatic surgery. And the &#8216;Hissy Fit&#8217;, is one big panchromatic pain in the rear end. At panchromatic times, of course.
