Just went back to XFCE4 after a month or so on KDE4.4 on Debian. I go back to KDE every now and then, when I feel the need for desktop effects and pretty transparency and stuff like that. This time, I really tried to customize my desktop to be as productive as possible, and I almost succeeded. The windows mozaic display from all desktop a-la-mac when the mouse reaches the top left corner was useful to switch from firefox to konsole. I really like gwenview, yakuake and konqueror for file browsing carry useful features. On the other hand, I couldn't get my networking to work properly. Whether it's network-manager or the kde frontend that's clunky, I don't know, but it made it impossible to switch from a network to another without rebooting the machine. It also took me DAYS to find how to deactivate this really annoying desktop switch when the mouse reaches the side of the screen. At some point, I was being very careful not to drag my mouse to the side. Terrible user experience. KDE is full of options, everywhere, but in the end I felt like most of them are useless. The lack of separation between "basic" parameters and "super geek advanced that even the developers don't touch" ends up in big control panel with plenty of options, and you don't even know where to start looking. So you start Googling, which is usually not a good sign. Being back to XFCE4 is indeed a relief. Like working out after months of junk food.
