Try now or the next version? I read a review which mentioned several
things(that I've now forgotten.) that'll be fixed -up/fully-developed in
the next release.
Also heard kde support just isn't there, do you know anything about
installing the kde libs anyway to run kde apps with? And what'll happen
if/when kde support is added in?
Having said that I havn't heard anything overly negative about it, just
that most of the polish is expected in the next version.
