Small KWin update
,----[ Quote ]
| Kind of a quiet week the past week in KWin—a few bug fixes, some backend work
| and a couple of small (But extremely useful) features thrown in as a bonus.

KWin makes it look better than proprietary operating systems.
KDE for Grannies

Screencast: Showing Off KDE 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.1, which is supposed to become the KDE4 version usable by 'normal'
| people, is coming at the end of July. When Ars reviewed the beta release,
| they were positive in that it was moving forward at an "extraordinary pace".
| Despite the positive notions in the news, many seem to have problems actually
| seeing all the new stuff being done in KDE4 - just like how people fail to
| see the massive amount of work put into Vista. KDE developer Rafael Fernandez
| Lopez (I'm sorry for the lack of diacritical marks, an OSNews bug we're
| working on) decided to put together a screencast showing off all the new
| stuff coming in KDE 4.1.

Shuttleworth has some nice words for KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Mr Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth, slowly warming towards KDE? Or is the man
| merely trying to keep the KDE folk onside, after a whole host of "technical
| writers" have attacked the new release of that desktop environment?
|
| [...]
|
| Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from
| the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst
| possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be -
| could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.
|
| But you would be wrong. Shuttleworth is now floating the idea that there can
| be a QT-based GNOME.

Improvements in KDE’s Folderview
,----[ Quote ]
| Folderview is an awesome plasmoid which makes it possible to show the content
| of a folder on a screen. It also is the first step to say good bye to the
| traditional way of storing links and folder on the desktop itself. The idea
| is that files inside the folder “Desktop” are not shown right on the desktop
| but that in general files from any folder or place can be shown
| in “containers” on the desktop.
