Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use. Does it make me more productive? Is the command line more efficient yet? Or, even better, does it make me use the command line more effectively? Read on...
>> Why did they have to pur national flags in the control center ? Almost everyone is trying to avoid stupid conflicts about nationalities in international projects and Kde seems to bring it up once again !
>> What's more, a US flag is in, despite every defaults already on US config. Couldn't they choose more neutral or symbolic coutries, like Ethiopia (to show support with their poor economy), Chinese, Japon, Russia, or Arabic Countries(to show the complexity of settings) ?
The icon you complain about depends on the iconset you use, it is not (AFAIK) part of KDE. It is very different from the 'Regional & Accessibility' icon shown on my system (SUSE 9.0 running KDE 3.2 beta2). My system shows two ficticious (AFAIK) flags.
