KDE 4 Look Part 3: A Week of KDE 4.5

LXDE (Lubuntu on my laptop), and on my Windows 7 install. (Also, I
stuck with gPodder for podcasts because that’s working perfectly)

KDE, KSnapshot. I love that lets me choose full screen, region,
window under cursor, and section of Window. With Gnome I hit print
