When I work I have some windows open and the only thing I can view is the panel. If kNewsTicker is not there I find it usless (at least for me). Will knewsticker be only a widget?

In my case, I can now use an existing library (part of KDE PIM libs) which handles retrieving and parsing RSS and Atom feeds. In KDE 2 and KDE 3 I had to do all that myself. stevie: I can only speak for Kubuntu 7.10 (this is the first time I installed a Linux flavour after many years of FreeBSD): it works very well and the default setup is quite appealing. The only things I noticed so far which don't work: hibernate didn't work for me, the WiFi LED on the laptop does not blink during WLAN traffic and the volume buttons (except for the mute-unmute button) on the ThinkPad don't work. I didn't look for possible solutions though (none of these is critical to me), maybe it's easy to fix. The important things (display, sound, network) worked out of the box, perfectly. koko: It’s a bit easier even, because the Qt4 API is nicer than Qt3 and because there are more helper libraries available.
