KDE "Considering that the previous revisions were surprisingly unstable, I can honestly call this one the most stable of the ones I have tested until now. I experienced only one crash and the performance was more than satisfactory. Now I can be almost sure that when a stable edition of KDE 4.1 is published, I will definitely say good bay to my old good KDE 3.5."

I've been working with KDE 4.0 for a while....and starting with 4.0.1 it became more usable...with 4.0.2 it's more stable...and even though it's still not feature complete, I'm starting to like it and use it on my laptop exclusively...just to get "ready" for 4.1. I can honestly say that the work going into it is paying off and I think it will be a good release at 4.1 for the masses. 4.0.2 hardly crashes anymore...and the applications continue to have bugs fixed....and applications added. I like Dolphin and am already using Ktorrent 3.0.0 which is for KDE4....working nicely. I am still waiting for a good Postscript Viewer..as Okular still doesn't seem to handle PS files...unless they plan on adding that later?

Anyway....I'll be using KDE 4 when it's ready as my default desktop....thanks KDE team for an exciting change...

okular can read ps files using libspectre, but i don't know if this is possible in 4.0.x too or just 4.1

here is a dirty hack to do it (like kpdf does)
create this scritp in /usr/bin

#/bin/bash
ps2pdf14 $1 "/tmp/"$1".pdf"
/home/kde-devel/kde/bin/okular $1".pdf"

call il okular ps and ajust the path to opkular
chmod 777 /usr/bin/okularps

and set it to default in dolphin/firefox/konkeror for .ps file.

*Be sure you have the ps2pdf14 command installed, if you have other version like 11, 12, 13 or without number only, ajust the scipt to the right name too.

Well, debian packages here. 4.0.2. And Okular can view ps files just fine. No crazy hacks required. Just double click the file and it loads perfectly. Dunno what's wrong with your packages...

I don't even have the okular-extra-backends package installed.
