    I just wanted to know how many NBR Linux users are running a KDE4 distribution. Post your screenshot as well as the version and any comments or criticism on this quickly evolving DE!

    My desktop is relatively unchanged because I love the new look as it is. I am running KDE 4.2 RC1 at the moment.

    Going for the simple look? How did you get the translucent Kickoff menu?

    You know, KDE 4.2 has most of the features of Compiz Fusion, including the rotating cube. It works with very good frame rates, but the problem is that the hotkey configuration won't allow certain combinations.
