KDE 3.0.1 is out

[Matthew Carpenter]

Some of the only issues I've run into with it "blowing up" on me have been
related to the .DCOP and "socket" links when I do something out of the
ordinary.  I'd kind of prefer that these were deleted at start up
(softlinks from .kde and .kde2 to /tmp/...) because while I can figure
them out, I always look at Linux as an ALTERNATIVE to Windows, not just
it's mysterious nemesis (ie.  How would my parents feel if this
happened?).  Normally this behavior happens when I su to another user and
start up some DCOP-oriented KDE app (which I'm not real impressed with). 
Other than that, I am KDE or CLI and have been since my start with OL2.2. 
I've used Gnome a bit, don't get me wrong.  But I always have been more
impressed with KDE, and particularly COL's versions of KDE (with
integration of key system config apps into KControl)
