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.

Menu Spacing

No, this is not the case. Check on this shot how much better the GTK+ app's menu text looks compared to the Qt's: the words are well spaced-out. On Windows the spacing is bigger than in KDE too, but their font is much smaller at the same time indeed.

Yeah, you are right. I aligned the menu in the image with the one in my IE window. In my previous post, I must have used the Gnome one to get my conclusion.

I think Windows' default menu font is Tahoma in 8 point,
it looks taller and as such more compact horizontally than Arial.
