Hi Penguinbait,

Here are my first impresssions of your kde port.

First of all its fabulous what you did. And thanks for the fast responses.

Shure, it took some time to load and it was a bit strange to me that kde works on top of maemo but it was also fully working. So here is what i realized:

1. The mayor "bug" in my opinion is not the speed of kde but the fact that many screens doesnt fit. So it was often hard for me to find the buttons on the bottom of a window. I switched of the task-bar (a very usefull feature, btw) but that didn't helped.

Solution: maybe a scrollbar or the possibility to grab the screen like in the browser window under maemo. Or you fix the windows so that they fit on the screen. I have to admit that i havent found out how to set the screen solution. But maybe i just missed it. ;-)

2. The task windows ...
Whenever i taped on the folder buttons and the names in it the bar was closed without starting the actually tapped program. So I had to use the hardware buttons to navigate and to start a program.

3. It seems to me that there are some features of kde which only blew up the whole thing but werent really neccessary. For instance the cpu and memory indicator on the task-bar. Or screensavers. I don't think they are needed.

4. The built in keyboard widget. The layout seems to be user unfriendly. Its really nice that it looks like a "real" keyboard. But on the other hand its harder to hit the buttons cause of the space in between. The keyboard of hildon is better designed. Also the feature that it popup whenever a textfield is tapped is usefull. But its nevertheless good work. I really like the possibility to resize yours.

5. its fully functional but a bit slow. But for some reason only the loading of the progz (5-10 secs) not the running of them!?

6. it took some time for me to find out how to install the lisa damon for network access... I didnt know how to get the root password... but that was my fault

Now a last question: Will it be possible to install deb packages or other linux progz under kde in the future (or is it still possible)?


So, thats it. Hope it helped.

I really love what you did. Go on. ;-)

I'm going on playing with this fun working master toy!
