Kubuntu
by Andre on Saturday 03/May/2008, @07:59

I am using the latest Kubuntu and I am experiencing still very old and odd quality problems:

- icon set switch gets you uber-big icons in the menu that clutter it (why doesn't the software check it and convert it??)
- Systemsettings with a non-visible ok button of the keyboard/mouse module, you need to use the scroll bars, who designed that shit?
- with dolphin in the trash the default option is not to empty it. It is impossible to delete files in the trash bin window
- translation: incomplete and with invalid line-breaks in the system settings selection dialogue, looks like shit.
- Kubuntu installs the ugly Orage calendar tool that pops up on every start-up
- some keys of my laptop keyboard don't work anymore and I have no idea how to switch the keyboard, probably a GRUB problem.
- folder system has an entry for printing and another one for printing. One is Gnome.
- at least 5 errors during system upgrade
with these oddities in the kubuntu standard installation I don't really want to test Kde 4...
- Kde 3.5.9 file selection dialogue **still** jumps over entries when you scroll via keyboard. The bug is there still since at least Kde 3.0.
