The new KDE looks great.  Do you know if the Konqueror that comes w/ it has the new KHTML engine that the Safari project improved upon.  That would definitely be a plus!

i dont know. the way i understand it is that the people behind kde have partnered with apple or are working with them.

SAJChurchey:
I hope the new KHTML engine was tested and approved by KDE and thus included w/ this release.  It would definitely give KDE some momentum having the latest rave of rendering engines.

I am running KDE 3.1 right now. Let me tell you it is excellent. It is all the features I loved from the rc's I tried plus more. However it has some, er, problems. Bad ones.

- In the KDE editor component (used in KWrite and Kate) when you place your cursor at the end of a line and have a line that is smaller than the one you are on, and press up/down towards that line, the cursor will move 5-7 spaces past the end of the line *and* the place where your cursor was on the line above. So when you hold the down key to get to the bottom of the document (provided it has a good amount of lines) the cursor will scroll very far to the right, making the text go off the viewing area. Also the bottom scroll bar doesn't appear when this happens

- Here's the major one. When I go into the screensaver setup and (now with the new XScreenSaver support) choose the Queens screensaver, then go to Setup and change the Speed to full, X crashes and upon reentering

          all files in my home directory are gone

well not all, only ones not starting with a period (???). I've logged into gnome and tried to reproduce the problem in xscreensaver-demo, and it doesn't happen. It happens every time I do it in the KDE screensaver setup.

I cried, let me tell you, when I found all my files gone. It's just lucky I didnt have my distro's source code in there! (i did have planning documents tho GRR)

That's what I'm talking about.  The KDE team doesn't  test their software enough before releasing it.  There were several *extremely annoying* bugs I encountered in KDE 2.2.  You think a x.2 release would gets its bugs fixed!
