My first taste of KDE…
I am seriously concerned with GNOME’s infatuation with Microsoft technologies.
As a newcomer to the Linux scene, I was not aware that GNOME was tied up with Novell and all in a 3-way with Redmond. However, the more I find out about, the more discomforted I become - and, having recently heard about the new KDE4 - I thought I might give KDE a shot!
Try as I might, I could not get all my monitors working. Here was the basic situation:
On the “left and center” monitors (Twinview), I could drag windows between them, but I could not get a wallpaper on the center monitor - it was some white and grey checkerboard pattern. Relatedly (?), I could not right-click on the desktop and get the pop-up menu. The whole time it was showing one big 3840×1200 screen in the Display dialog.
At one point, through random fiddling, the Display properties that you get from right clicking on the desktop showed a wide-ass monitor and then the wallpaper stretched across both monitors.
