Installed KDE 3.4 beta 2 today. I should make my computer ready for the next release ahead of time.

The options I went straight to: “Use translucency/shadows” :D
Well, first impression: KDE is getting close to a nice MacOS-like experience.
XComposite (comming with X.org is not really bug-free and it has some annoying behaviour here and then.

I filled up today (more like… “tonight”) @ KDE Bug Tracking System:
- 8 bug reports on transluncency/shadows (one got fixed up to now)
- 2 bugs on KDE PIM, specifically in aKregator - the news reader comming integrated in Kontact.
Edit (Feb 20, 12:57): +1 bug report on translucency

I tried to be as specific as possible, hoping that KDE will benefit from a close-to-perfect user experience in the next version. I hope the devs will manage to fix most of them prior to the release of 3.4.
