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.

I agree about Keramik but it's somewhat understandable considering the environment shortly after the release of Windows XP and its absolutely horrid Luna interface (ridiculously large title bars, excessive use of bright colours, inconsistent application to older programs).
It is the only way to get rid of the clutter. Advanced users will know where to find these extra options and newbies won't have to deal with all that clutter.
Beginning users will never use stock KDE or stock GNOME. Nor should they. Total noobs will always stick to the defaults provided to them by their beginner-friendly Unix distro.
