The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

No. The menu is just wrong. The "Most Used Applications" should come after "Actions", and then "All Applications" (and the number of menu items under "All Applications" should not exceed seven, imho). I'm sure that this could be done by which ever distribution, but it would be so much better if KDE shipped with usable defaults.
IMHO, GUI usability is simply THE most important and most overlooked aspect in GUI software today.
