Ok, so I've finally updated my KDE and had some time to play with things - sorry for the delay. The upgrade went of smoothly and painlessly - I just renamed my .kde directory and then untarred on top of my existing install. Merged my .kde-PCQ with the new .kde and off I went.

Anyways, I'm really glad that I upgraded! You've added some really nice features and fixed quite a few bugs Thanks a bunch!

1. (+) Menu Editor is now fixed Yay!! I know you weren't sure it was borken before, but all I can say is now it actually works where before it wouldn't save any changes I had made.

2. (-) KGhostView crashes very badly (ie: screen dithers to black and then whole unit spontaneously resets) when trying to open a moderately large pdf file (~5 MB). It will open smaller pdf files well though. Just curious, why add Ghostview when both KPDF and the Osso pdf-viewer both already work really well?

3. (+) I was able to restore the bulk of my settings by copying over my original .kde files. That made things go much easier and quicker.

4. (+) I like how you added the Hildon list to the menu. Also, thanks for setting up Maemo Mapper and switchonBT. I had tried to get those to run in KDE before but couldn't. Wonder what I was doing wrong?

5. (+) Still waiting for my battery to drop low enough to test out your pb-batt but so far it works well. I do like it in the upper corner.

6. (+) Is it just my imagination or reduce initial memory usage? I seem to have more memory available after I first start up KDE and don't go into swap as quickly as before.

7. There's still some stuff I haven't tried yet. I probably won't try the joystick because well, I don't have one. I'll try out KMail later and see if I can send.

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to test before you release this into the wild?

Thanks again PB!!
