KDE 3.0.1 is out

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I guess it's stable most of the time.  My setup is Caldera's KDE 2.2.1 on 
WS 3.1.  Periodically KDE decides it won't run some apps (last night it was 
Mozilla) in that they exit when asked to run.  Then it decides it won't run 
when you login and gives you no panel or just the grey X screen background. 
 At that time you have to do the save ~./kde2, delete it, clear out /tmp 
and DCOP files, then restart KDE, copy back what you want and run for a 
while longer.  I have a stock system - no mods.  To me this doesn't fit the 
Linux stability concept.
