What’s new in KDE 4.2? A Review:
,----[ Quote ]
| I just took a quick tour of the newest version of KDE 4.2. Release Candidate
| 1. Sometime around the end of the month, the KDE developers will unleash the
| official 4.2 release upon the world, and it will be picked up by your distro
| creator of choice sometime soon afterwards. At any rate, KDE 4.2 will
| include a bunch of new features, and some sorely needed bug-fixes. So, how
| does it hold up so far?

My sweet desktop environment - KDE 4.2 RC
,----[ Quote ]
| About a month ago I installed Gentoo Linux on my MacBook Pro as I’ve become
| really disappointed with OSX. Being a linux user for a few years it’s hard to
| get used to such a limited operating system like OSX…Anyway I just want to
| show you some screenshots of a just released KDE 4.2 RC that is totally
| amazing…

| This is something like QuickSilver in OSX. I use KRunner to open applications
| or access files, but you can use it for many other tasks like calculations,
| spell checking, opening web bookmarks etc.

KDE 4.2 RC Released for Final Testing
,----[ Quote ]
| January 13th, 2009. The KDE Community today announced the immediate
| availability of "Cilense", (a.k.a KDE 4.2 Release Candidate), the only
| planned release candidate for the KDE 4.2 desktop. Cilense is aimed at
| testers and reviewers. It should provide a solid ground to report last-minute
| bugs that need to be tackled before KDE 4.2.0 is released. Reviewers can use
| this release candidate to get a first look at the upcoming KDE 4.2 desktop
| which provides significant improvements all over the desktop and
| applications. It is not recommended for everyday use, however.

KDE 4 rev 802150: Work in progress
,----[ Quote ]
| KWin with Wobbly Windows
|
| Kwin features a new visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the
| Wobbly Windows. Only a few days ago the settings panel for this effect had
| tons of detailed options. Most of these options have been disabled now, the
| only thing that can be configured is the window deformation level while in
| motion. This seems more appropriate for a common user since the number of
| configurable settings was overwhelming before. One minor flaw that I noticed
| in KWin Wobble Windows is that the window shadow is not properly deformed (it
| does not adjust to the current shape of the window).
