Why do you stick with KDE? Why don't you try Xfce or LXDE? KDE 1 was quite nice but pretty slow and buggy. Until KDE 3.5 it was made much more stable and faster so that KDE 3.5 was really usable. With KDE 4 they went back to KDE 1 regarding stability and speed but with far too much "eyecandy". KDE 4 was the reason for me for switching to Xfce. It runs smoothly and in my opinion fast and has only a few minor issues in my experience. LXDE seems to be fast and stable, too. For me there's only one applet missing, don't know which one. I can't decide which one I like more. Currently I stick with Xfce. But KDE isn't an option for me anymore. Since I already used GTK/Gnome apps in KDE, I'm now using Qt/KDE apps in Xfce. Heiko
