"The KDE Community proudly presents the second Beta release for KDE 4.0. This release marks the beginning of the feature freeze and the stabilization of the current codebase. Simultaneously the KOffice developers have released their third Alpha release, marking significant improvements in this innovative office suite. Both KDE and KOffice have benefited from the Google Summer of Code, as most resulting code has now been merged."

The taskbar plasmoids won't load because the openSUSE people don't include the stuff from playground where most of the plasmoids reside nowadays (including the taskbar stuff). The same happens with their packages from the Build Service (upon which the LiveCD is based on). I'm not sure what they have been thinking when they released these packages but it can't have been terribly much. Let's hope the KDE guys move the plasmoids to a place where openSUSE will pick them up.

After 30 mins of heavy testing, I can say it's really broken. First, when you start it, the "app launcher" won't load. Fortunately, you can load a terminal (right-click on the desktop for "run command") and launch applications from there.
I couldn't load any desktop components except some plasmoids. Amarok is broken. Konqueror crash after a few seconds. Dolphin is ok but it keeps showing error messages. Kdevelop is under heavy development. Etc.
This is not something you expect for Beta 2. Maybe you will have more luck building it yourself like the guy at Ars did. Maybe...
But honestly, I wouldn't waste too much time with it. I deserve the pre-alpha or the alpha tag for sure. The libraries might be Beta 2 but the rest is just totally broken.
Better chance with Beta 3? ;-)
