And now some questions:

1. I followed the "donate" link and it leads to tablethacker.com. Is that you? (Yes this is me penguinbait http://tablethacker.com/kde.html )

2. is there any "make it run faster" guide for disabling lets say "useless" startup apps?
Like what? If there is something starting on boot and you dont want it to, boot up KDE, turn off app, open KDE menu, and click "save session" now it wont start on boot anymore.

3. how can I tell if an app I want to install is compatible with my KDE installation? Can I use (any) generally available apps, or am I stack to the limited maemo repositories?
Well, only apps available for the tablet can be installed. KDE apps as every other app would need to be compiled for ARMEL to be available on this platform.


4. (I know this is off-topic, please ignore it if it can not be answered easily). What about internationalisation? I am Greek, so I went K/control center/regional & accessibility/country-region & language. I select country "Greece" and I can read proper greek characters in konqueror and koffice opening OOo 2.3.1 spreds, but when I press "add language" I can find only "US English" available. That makes the keyboard selector at the taskbar useless and I have no way to enter greek characters.

I am not sure, I really dont know, perhaps we should open a thread and see if anyone has solved this, I unfortunately am an ignorant american, and only know one language, which makes that somewhat less compelling to debug. I will do some looking around, anyone anyone??

Minor comment: it seems like when I logoff from kde, the click sound that I was hearing when tapping on the screen is canceled.
Yes, it was happening occaisionally to me but not every time, not sure how to fix besides reboot?
Thanks again!

Glad you had a easy install, and your enjoying KDE..
