Okay I gave in and decided to try out KDE on top of Aqua last night.
Got kdebase3, libs, and dev installed and it runs fine.
However!!!
1. Ive read that the Aqua desktop and the KDE desktop can coexist.
My desktop is taken over by KDE, wallpaper and all.
My dock still works, and I see all of my Aqua desktop icons, but those do
nothing. Almost like theyre just graphics on my desktop.
KDE makes its own copies of them, but instead of being shortcuts anymore,
theyre just empty docs.
Only way I can access any of my Aqua OS X stuff is either by launching from
the dock, or clicking on the Finder in the dock and using CMD+N to open a
new window. So is there a way to get the two to work hand in hand? Perhaps,
kill the KDE desktop, just keep the Taskbar?
2. Like someone else recently mentioned, the Taskbar does not resize icons
either. I have it on the left side of the screen (obviously, I still need
the OS X dock), and no settings I make to it actually take effect.
3. Windows and such, which was also mentioned, appear underneath things. I
was happy to finally be able to use the systray icon for Gaim last night,
but whenever I clicked on it to get the menu, it appears underneath the
Taskbar and I cant see what Im actually selecting. Same with all the apps.
So how does one get the two to peacefully coexist?
Someone replied back to the earlier post and mentioned trying the KDE FAQ.
Well, there is nothing I found in the FAQ that related to any of these
issues, or even anything about OS X for that matter..
