“Having given a quick overview of the first beta of the latest
KDE SC release last week, a couple of days later, beta 2 was
released. So dutifully, I have updated to KDE SC 4.5 beta 2 to see
what’s changed.

“So for those who left comments on my last post bemoaning the
KDE developer’s lack of enthusiasm for bug fixing – kerblam!
take that! In fact, I have indeed noticed some stability
improvements myself, so the empirical evidence is backed up by the
anecdotal. In beta 1, there seemed to be a reasonable amount of
instability in kwin. Compositing would turn itself off rather
regularly, and on the odd occasion, X itself would give up the
ghost altogether. With beta 2, no such misfortunes have befallen
me.”
