Week of KDE4: Day 3

    Today there's not much to say, except that I actually had to restart X because my xorg process was using 150MB of RAM and everything started running choppier than a chef cutting up something. I realise KDE4.1 is still a baby, but com'on, there's no reason it should leak memory like this! Especially when I have a full gig and a half in my system.

    I also continue to be saddened by the lack of a global menu option in KDE4, this is one thing that I always appreciated about KDE3.5, and recently (thanks to a unsupported hack) GNOME. The global menu saves tremendous amounts of screen estate and gets rid of another UI element that doesn't belong in the window. Maybe KDE 4.2 will catch up with a few more features in KDE 3.5, who knows.

    So, to sum up, it's pretty much the same as yesterday, could be a lot better, but it could be worse.
