I obviously did not want to stop with a single compile of KDE4, therefore I'm updating more or less randomly my build off the SVN to check what has been changing.
|
|
|
|
The first and most important change since my last post was the addition of the K-menu in the taskbar: Kickoff was moved from playground (where it resided) to kdebase. Also, kate now works perfectly, and is already usable as a full-blown text editor.

Last time I did not test gwenview, the KDE image viewer, and now I can happily report it works. I like the new UI, with the sidebar (which can be hidden if needed). Here is a screenshot of it in action:

[](http://www.dennogumi.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/kde4_7.png) Aside that, I've tried again to compile kdenetwork without much success: the codebase seems in a state of flux right now, and errors pop up here and there. Too bad, as I really wanted to see the new KRDC. While I wait for it to be fixed, I installed kdemultimedia: so far I've only tested kmix, and it **seems** to work (it displays the interface but I have no idea if it actually modifies the volume). I'm not daring to touch kdepim as I know kmail4 is in very bad shape right now.

I've also tried to compile some Plasma applets from playground but I get CMake errors, I assume I need to checkout something else needed for it to work.

I'll keep on reporting in the next days, when I get time.
