KDE 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.

A few thoughts.....

1. Konq. has an ugly button (Return key) to the RHS of the URL bar. IMO it should't look like that. It looks out-of-place to me.

2. This is definitely the best looking KDE I have seen. Great job!

3. Menu clutter.....why not have a global option somewhere that gives the user "basic user" or "power user" settings. This could be chosen as part of the first start-up wizard. The basic version could be like Mac OS X while the detailed gives the power user all the extra options. Presently KDE looks just too messy although I like having access to all the options.
