Foss.in Day 4 and 5
Then I spent the afternoon compiling trunk, again with repeated power failures, until I finally had a really great KDE desktop. I love the new Add Applet panel, the new netbook view for the desktop and other smooth effects. Qt Kinetic raises animation to a whole new level, check out the examples.
