Whats up with Hatim!

I have an inherent bias towards KDE and when I ponder upon it I really don't know why it is the case. Perhaps its because of softwares like Amarok, which give an experience not found in Gnome-land. I feel taht KDE apps are faster, but there is no factual basis for that. I have never actually profiled applicatinos running in KDE to Gnome or some other DM. In my core gentoo days I would spend hours figuring out most optimal CFLAGS so that my KDE/gentoo apps utilized most of my hardware. Crashes were inevitible, but I would blame those crashes on my own CFLAGS. For the last month or so I have been using Kubuntu on my VAIO and I have come across some bad behavior from apps like Amarok, kFlickr.

Perhaps even more disturbing is the crashing os supposedly stable compiz-kde. I did not have the time to look into stack traces of the applications to see what was happening, but the whole point of using Ubuntu is to used tested and tried software. I think Ubuntu/Kubuntu should put more emphasis on testing of different components, than adding goodies into the trunk which are unstable.
