Some great news around today!
KDE 4.1.2 has been released!
KDE4 is the set of programs that Kubuntu uses. From next Kubuntu release on (see below) it will be the default for all Kubuntu desktops, previous releases have been running on KDE3 series. But there’s a lot of cool stuff why you should upgrade :) I like it!

The next Kubuntu version will be officially released in a month but now there’s a beta version or a ‘preview’ for people to test & find bugs. It’ll bring KDE4 to the masses including the latest KDE 4.1.2.

Question: Is the start menu, when popped open, still butt-ugly and inconsistent with the rest of the desktop themes?
Imo it looks much nicer than it did in 4.0, but it still isn’t consistent with the rest of the desktop theme. It should be much more integrated with the rest of the theme in 4.2.
@rawsausage: Just use Lancelot as a menu like i do :P
Yeah, I suppose no much changes in the start menu. I too like Lancelot but for some reason I just can’t get it show up in the plasmoid list any more though I’ve installed the plasmoid-lancelot package..
