Ok... so I've been KDE as N810 desktop environment pretty much exclusively for the past several days. I've got the majority of usability issues and limitations ironed out by making a lot of changes in the Control Center - mainly in the Accessibilities section. However, Applications Menu is still tricky.

I've even been able to get battery readings (thanks to ag2 ) by using battery-status. I've made a short-cut for the shell script and placed it on my desktop - now checking the battery status is really no more difficult than it was in Maemo (although it might be slightly less pretty).

There are a few things that could use to be fixed:

1. There appears to be an issue with jpg support. I can't use jpgs for wallpaper and Kolour Paint gives the error on unsupported format. Krita will open them though.

2) I'd love to see if it's possible to port KMyMoney, PWManager and RoadNav.

3) For some reason, mPlayer is sluggish when run from KDE - even from xterm but not when run from Maemo. Can't figure out why. Perhaps it's a memory limitation? Not a big deal- I don't really watch videos that often so I can easily just go into Maemo for those.

4) Whenever, I connect to Wifi from KDE, after my set time-out of 10 mins (which I set in Maemo), I get fully disconnected from my router. Maemo doesn't fully disconnect. This is not really a bug, IMHO - as I prefer to have wifi disconnect after a set period of time - it's really more of an observation.

Thanks again, PenquinBait!! I absolutely love my new K810
