KDE The KDE Project is happy to announce a new major release of the award-winning K Desktop Environment. Many features have been added or refined, making KDE 3.5 the most complete, stable and integrated free desktop environment available. For a quick look at some of the new features see the visual guide to KDE 3.5. Packages are available now for ArchLinux, Kubuntu, Slackware and SuSE or try Konstruct to build it yourself.

Four things off the bat

1.) Why the hell does Konqueror keep displaying a pop-up telling me that it has blocked a web pop-up? Um kinda stupid don't you think?

2.) Whos bright idea was it to include the "Preview" tab which dosent even work on all the files? It won't work on videos, the launchers in kicker, etc. Not to mention that there are already tooltip previews and thumbnails (which also don't work on pictures/videos on my desktop). Why do we need 3 different previews?

3.) The menu for adding/removing applets is alot worse now. Its harder to find what I'm look for even with the search functionality.

4.) That Media detection thing is horrible. It's clearly a rip off from Windows but looks worse.

Serisouly I've only been using KDE 3.5 for the last 10 mins and I'm already unimpressed. I'll stick with KDE 3.4 for a little while longer and move on to something else. Maybe a WM this time.
