Re: kde-4.1b1

I am also noticing some problems.

Firstly, I would like to say that this beta is terrific, compared to 4.0.x and 
that I am thrilled that the ugly desktop icons are finally bye-bye for good. I 
like the new device notifier and I have been able to mount my camera and usb 
hard drive as a non-root user without any hassles, despite selinux enforcing. 
This is a milestone! I hate clutter on my desktop, especially as dolphin 
already shows me what I have and how to get to it. There is also the find 
utility, if I really cannot find something (by the way, find takes aeons to 
start) 

I am excited about the new desktop paradigm and this ought to set kde apart 
from legacy desktop paradigms. I have been waiting for a long time for someone 
to come up with something new. I have given it considerable thought (when 
things are not advancing fast enough for me, which is every couple of weeks or 
so), but I was not able to conceive of anything that might be useful. Thanks 
to the developers for having the balls to give something new a try, despite 
all of the negativity in the blogs. Kde will be great again!

Anyway, now to the problem and answer to the thread initiator.

I like to have korganizer start in the system tray with the reminder daemons 
running. 95% of the time, it doesn't start and I have to start it manually. 
Even then, only about 50% of the time will it go into the systray, otherwise I 
have to start it manually a second time! Rebooting and the same problem all 
over again. Also, the side panel in korganizer, with the calendar, the details 
of the todos and the resources, is not shown at all, even though I have them 
enabled in the menu bar up top.

When a reminder is triggerred, when I select dismiss, it often dismisses not 
just the highlighted reminder, but the whole list! Also (I have filed a bug 
report), when I defer/suspend a reminder and reboot or turn off/on my computer, 
the suspended reminder is forgotten and I am never reminded at all.

I have not noticed any problems with akregator, and I use it daily. kmail 
seems to be working just fine. I had a slight problem with it when I upgraded 
from the fedora repos to kde-redhat: my outgoing servers were not recognized 
and I had to reconfigure them, but my identities and incoming servers were fine.

Selinux is generating errors on logging out: something about /dev/root, I 
think, but it doesn't hinder logging out and I have selinux in enforcing mode.

System notification appears to be fine, although sometimes pulseaudio doesn't 
work and I get a message about not being able to contact the sound server, or 
something (don't remember exactly, but I suspect it must be phonon, the xine 
backend, that crashes on boot). Usually, it works, though.

The system tray is a bit of a mess: sometimes icons are written over others, 
or there are gaps between the icons where one moved over but the others didn't 
follow, or there will be a white rectangle with nothing in it. Also, 
networkmanager doesn't always show up, but that seems to be less of a problem 
than in 4.0.5. It has definitley improved in this beta release.

All in all, I am very pleased with this beta and can't wait for beta2! This is 
really looking very good. I have been following Asiego's blog and I will 
probably not use most of what he is talking about (something about folder 
views and whatnot), as I don't even understand it, but it should be great once 
I can get my hands on it. No doubt, I will figure out how it can be useful, 
once I have it installed.
