Even on Linux, I hear. The 1.0 release apparently was only meant to signify
the API freeze, not code stabilization. I gather there was quite a bit of
release pressure coming from folks like RedHat..

I can't think of any problems I've had running KDE 1.1 or 1.1.1 - it's been
very stable for me. The only thing is that it seems to be fairly memory-hungry
and my machine (48MB) is swapping a lot more than I'd like.

Mind you, 1.0 was -terrible- - in the first 10 minutes of my using it it ate
my mouse pointer and dumped core twice.
