I just upgraded from Feisty to Intrepid, and am not really enjoying KDE 4 as much as I thought I would. It looked great at first, but after a week or so of tinkering with it, I'm getting the sense that it's actually not all that great.
For example, multiple desktops: Where are all the settings that used to control things like having separate wallpaper for each desktop, whether to display each desktop's wallpaper in the pager, whether to display each desktop's name when switching desktops, etc.? All I can find now are settings for how many desktops you want, what their names are, and whether to display window icons in the pager. (Window icons show the applications running on each desktop, NOT each desktop's wallpaper.)
And what about all the panel settings that used to be available? Now...there's not much there.
