Feedback

• Flash is broken in Konqueror. The applet seems running, as I can here the sound if there is any, but no image. Happens with Flash 10 and 9, not even 9.48 which worked flawless with KDE3s Konqueror works. Seems to be Bug #169626, which also has a fix. Would be nice if that could be included.

• Having problems with the shortcuts for "Walking through the desktops". Whatever combination for the "reverse" walking is ignored (although it appears in the settings)
• KPackageKit looks promising, but it has too many problems for a production system since it can't even update successfully all the time, and no information is given as to what it's doing or what error occurred..

• I like this version a lot, I even could upgrade in a machine from intrepid and one from hardy, and all working right. KDE4 is becoming great and nicely integrated with other apps. I like how does qtcurve looks in gnome apps, but I think that should be also the default for KDE3 apps, but it's missing from the repos. Also, KDE3 and QT3 colors and theme can't be easily changed, and I'm missing two plasma-widgets: panel-spacer and yawp, but the broader selection of available plasma-widgets is very nice. Great work @Daniel Velasco@

• So far so good. One more Problem Kpackagekit have is that here is any reinstall-option. This I can do only with aptitude by using a konsole. The translation? Let's see if we get it all right till the final-release... The rosetta-stuff need some improvements for the near future, because it's causing many additional work and frustrations. Kubuntu-Artwork. Here I hope to see more effort for the next version. And I don't mean only wallpapers ... Important plasmaoids are: cwp and panel-spacer. They should be shipped in the Jaunty-Final. Nevermind - this release of Kubuntu is a new milestone and we are going a good way ... thumbsup. --scholli

* Please do not put KDE4 as default. Do not upgrade from KDE 3.5 to 4 as default. I know users who switched to Gnome or to other distributions just because they could not find KDE 3.5 in 8.10 any more. I do not know anyone who enjoys KDE 4. I have as a test KDE 4 on one machine and I regret it every time I have to use it. Check the forums (for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963853), almost everyone who installed 8.10 with KDE was disappointed, because of the move to 4. Please no KDE 4 by default. Otherwise there will be no way to use 9.04 and it is disappointing. Thanks. @Alfas@
