kde buggy, trying out cinnamon

I'm finding kde has become too buggy.  Frustrations are:
1. windows don't respect panel, fullscreen windows will go under the panel.
2. power management has become very flaky.  When on battery, configuration 
is to dim, and after some time suspend.  screen does dim (totally!), but 
does not respond when keys/mouse touched.  Instead, only Fn+f6 will turn on 
the screen. Suspend seems to have broken.
3. screenlock is configured to activate after 10 minutes.  It has stopped 
working (never activates).

So I decided to try cinnamon.  It seems much less buggy.  Almost perfect in 
most respects, although I don't like that I can't see all the apps on all 
the workspaces in the taskbar, as in kde.  Makes switching a lot less 
pleasant. Power management seems to work fine.

But cinnamon seems to have a deal-breaking issue for me.  The fonts on KDE 
look much better.  I can't understand why.

I do have this .fonts.conf:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
 <match target="pattern">
  <edit name="dpi" mode="assign">96</edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
   <const>hintslight</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
   <const>rgb</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
   <const>lcddefault</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
