In general I agree that using KDE on fedora is a bit spotty, it's been better than other distros in my opinion. only better KDE experience is the kde-redhat packages. perhaps the two projects could work together for everybody's benefit?
-There were no Core 2 packages for 3.0
-It's not possible to get mp3-support by installing an additional RPM like it is for gnome, you have to recompile kdemultimedia.
as I use the KDE distro from the above, I can't go either way on this one.
-Since KDE 3.3 it's more difficult to recompile kdemultimedia as the SRPM includes patched sources, you have to go to ftp.kde.org and get the original sources and place them in RPMBUILDIR/src manually
that's a bug. RPM by design is supposed to use pristine sources. if it doesn't, you should file a bug.
-kdemultimedia has random applications disabled without stating a reason for this anywhere. Juk or Amarok, I don't recall exactly, in KDE 3.2 and 3.3.0, koncd in 3.3.1
I'll go with you on this. Juk is the app. Rhythmbox is a very capable replacement, but still looks a bit out of place.
-Automatic login with kdm doesn't work since 3.2
Attached are two files, put them in your /etc/pam.d directory. I found that on Google.
-KDE 3.3.1 won't be in Core 3 but come as "one of the first updates", meaning that I'll have to download about 200 mb some days after I downloaded Core 3.
I can only imagine that's a testing thing.
