OS works but installatoon of 5 > months testing of KDE doesn;t. so stop using trendy "desktop" and just start to do actual work and you will not be upset any more but happy. "Desktop environments" offer exactly zero value and do nothing. Just use fvwm2, maybe icewm, tune it to your needs and start working. use xterm as your "start button" by starting program you need from command like. configure fvwm2 to have multiple "virtual desktop" switchable by keystrokes so you will have something like standard text console just in X11 with ability to run X11 programs. in most cases - run one program on one virtual desktop. Multiple windows on screen is only fashionable but useless in practice. After a while you will end in removing every unneeded things that are only fashionable but just wastes time and monitor space. For example window frames and titles. "Desktop environments" are required so average winuser will not protest too much when i do X11 terminal based configuration. but i use gnome2 this case with gdm as it is far faster (==less slow) than KDE, and as well as KDE gives nothing but looks more windows-like.
