Re: KDE4 beta4 live CD

Congrats to the Debian KDE Team, I tried it and in general it looks sweet, however the default font settings could be better, for example, instead to use a bitmap font use DejaVu or Liberation.
Also I liked a lot Gwenview, it is easy and fast, and the zoom widget for the previews at the bottom is cool. Okular it is amazing also.
Systemsettings it is way better organized than what KControl was, although some modules have bigger screen size than the default systemsettings size and create ugly scroll bars.
In general I liked Kickoff, but I would prefer to click to change the tab view and not on mouse hover.
Oxygen style and windeco are great but I think that the windeco if it ¡s not using a composite manager with drop shadows it should have better window border contrast, because it is too thin and sometimes it create some confusion.

In general this beta has a very good feelings, and I think that some people who think to not use KDE4 before 4.1 should be surprised with 4.0.
