After todays update to 4.0.2 right click on the panel and it will ask some questions some (like me ) have been waiting for ;D

I am off for a large one ;D

Did the openoffice.org dependency problem get fixed with this new update? I check this morning and it was still showing BREAK -- but of course, USA mirrors are the last to get the updated packages. :-\

It's resizeable, but with compositing enabled it looks quite screwed up, plasmoids within the panel don't scale correctly etc... still a lot of work to be done. Better than nothing though.

Does anyone know if they will release a HH KDE4 Alpha 2? My Alpha 1 still hasn't posted any updates to 4.0.2 :(

Actually went and got the Daily image. It works wonderfully!! ;D ;D They're getting there. WOW, to be able to adjust that panel size smaller was great. Wish they would allow Transparencies on it. Would be near perfect then.

Is there a way in KDE4 to change the Display Driver without reconfiguring X in Konsole? In 3.5.9 you can go to System Settings --> Monitor and Display and go to the Hardware tab, but I don't see this option in KDE4. Anyone?

Mine only shows "System Settings KDE3" in the KMenu. My Nvidia Settings utility shows up in the Settings folder. Sorry. :-\

That's OK, I'm still trying to figure this VirtualBox graphics Enhancement thing out. Driving me nuts!! I'll find the answer, and then I'll post it everywhere.


Edit: Even at 800x600, I'm loving KDE4.0.2. Big improvement for me over 4.0.1.

Cool... Has anyone noticed that the panel goes Transparent around the edges when Desktop Effects are turned on? Also, is there a new file format for Splash Screens? I'd like to see if it will import mine. Tried as it is for KDE3, but no go.

Yes, I have noticed this issue as well. It is something that has a bug report already. It's a little annoying, but I'm over it already.

I actually wish it extended to the whole panel. I prefer a Transparent one.

My screen is now extending past the bottom of my monitor. I can't seem to find any way to adjust it. doh!
