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.

The panel applets do look cleaner with their lefthand menu widgets now revealed only by mouseover.
Some questions for Eugenia
1) When you use the mouse to customize the panel height by dragging its top edge, do the panel icons now scale smoothly as in Gnome ? as I would expect by the brief mention of SVG support.
2) When the panel height is at 36 pixels, does the desktop switcher applet draw its previews to have a wierd aspect ratio with only half their expected width ?.
3) Is there an option to separate out how some of the various panel elements resize because I usually cfg just 2 or 3 desktops but they become to tiny and look silly when being stacked into 2 rows as the panel ht exceeds 35 pixels.
Thanks
