Based from latest news on slackware official site, developer team has announced that slackware package for kde 4.1 already ported in /testing directory which part of slackware current. Not only developer was happily use it, this euphoria wouldn't complete if I'm not trying it too. Now, here is my slackware desktop's screenshot using kde 4.1 and also with amarok 2 (alpha release) inside.
desktop spesification:
- Cover switch mode ( an alternative alt+tab window switcher ) for desktop effect
- using elegance theme for desktop with field of peace's wallpaper
- amarok 2 alpha release with video applet
- firefox 3.0.1 using KDE 4 theme
What I get that this version is still slower than KDE 3 which is an official version for slackware 12.1 by default. Beside that, there are several problems still appear. some icons on menu applet doesn't show up. Dolphin file manager doesn't do well when handling movie filetype if thumbnail applet enabled. It will break up when I put mouse over that filetype and dolphin will close by itself.
Maybe this major version isn't a stable phase yet and still buggy. The problems also come with amarok 2. Video applet that come with this alpha release sometime can cause amarok hang and not responsible. I think this is not the right time to use it now.
