Back to KDE - KDE3

I installed Arch on my box again... and this time decided to install KDE ( KDEMod to be specific) and I was happy with it... there's a good reason for coming back to KDE. I was using Qt apps in GNOME other than firefox and xchat.

But now with KDE I'm using all Qt apps, other than firefox :P konversation and xchat both work fine :)

And I've started using kontact, it's really great because it integrates really well with kopete and konversation. And there's a calendar, a mail client, and a feed reader integrated into it.

Here are some screen shots from my KDE 3 desktop.. looks cool to me ;)

Desktop with a single window.. it's nice to have an uncluttered workspace ;)

I tried KDE4 again, there's a kdemod4 repo for arch, that is really good... anyway... I wasn't very happy with KDE4 because of some glitches... I'll post another article on KDE4 soon.
