Unfortunately, I have to agree with Antonio...
I'm currently still using F8 (because I didn't see a compelling
reason to migrate to F9) but I _am_ evaluating and testing F10.
I (personally) have a few pre-requisites that make F10 a go/no-go
decision:
1/ KDE 4.x must work at least as good as good as 3.x. But its not there!
(Gnome is a non-runner for me.)
the option is enabled.)
b) the (re-written) calendar tasklet still doesn't support the
multi-timezone display that the old version does. And its popup
calendar disappears as soon as you click anywhere else on the screen
(making the calendar next to worthless, and definately a major pain in
the *&&%^%$#^%)
c) the newsticker writes all over the taskbar, and doesn't seem to be
controlable.
2/ I need to wait until there are more KDE themes available (like in 3.5 so
I can find a usable one.) I once read that if you see a 'black' based
web page/theme, it was probably created by someone under 20 years old.
Well I'm now over 50, and I'd like an easier to see' theme! Black with
chrome'y highlights does not make it easy to look at.
3/ Start-up sound breaks up/stutters. If its that bad on startup, I'm
not even going to test any other sound application. :-(
Perhaps most of my complaints are about KDE... I don't know.
But right now, at least for me... and probably others (like Antonio)
F10 isn't (really) usable for any number of reasons.
And before you ask... no I haven't filed bugs on these items, because
I've gotten jaded with the process; when... 2 years and 3 releases after
submitting a bugzilla entry, I keep getting emails: '...try it again on
the most recent release... Yes, it still fails...' that I have to ask...
why bother?
Sorry for the rant.
Frustrated, but not giving up hope yet...
(and _my_ sound doesn't work right either...)
