I've already upgraded to F9. Is there an easy way to go back ?

Backup your data and reinstall F8.

However you may want to give KDE 4 a chance. There's a lot of stuff you
get used to after a while, plus you can change some parts of it. And KDE
4.1 promises to be a good deal better (around July).

It's moving rapidly, too. Dolphin can handle split panes in 4.0.4. Every
update brings us 'must-have' features restored.

As nice as that may be, why did it ship without the essential stuff
working ? Uninstalling and reinstalling f8 isn't an option. It would
take too much time. Now I have to put up with this for the next few
months.

I am REALLY disappointed this happened. I knew it was an early release
of KDE 4.0. I didn't realize that it was so disabled as well.

Really? What is it about a reinstall that is so hard that it makes
putting up with a desktop you find quite lacking for months?

FWIW, this is something that is really nice about the Live images.
You can take the new version for a ride before you decide to go all
out and upgrade your current install.

take a deep breath, log out, switch to GNOME and log in...re-acquaint
yourself with GNOME for the time being.

I personally found GNOME to work better on F9 with 512MB RAM but I stuck
in another 512MB and KDE-4 works a bit better now (also the updates that
came out yesterday seem to have helped a bit too).

I must admit that I've never upgraded a Fedora install. I'm posting from FC2,
and although no longer supported works just fine. I do have other FC installs
on my drives up to F8, and I think I'd always suggest, that is if you have
sufficient harddrive space, to retain your current FC install, and install
the latest FC version on some free space on your harddrive. At least that way
you can dual boot, and if there are problems with the latest version, as you
are having with KDE 4.0, you can always revert to booting F8, and using that.

I do also have Debian versions available, and have upgraded those with little
or no problems, although KDE 4.0 hasn't come into the equation yet. Debian
Lenny (testing) has some problems when updating from time to time, and most
recently the mouse went out to lunch, with single clicks being registered as
double clicks. That's fixed now, but it's nice when those sort of things
happen, knowing that you can always boot up an earlier version of the distro,
and get on with what you want to do.

2¢ worth of my late night ramblings, for what it's worth.

Nigel.

Um, I'm not trying to sound like an idiot, but HOW? Up through F8, I
could select KDE or Gnome via the session options. Those don't appear
to be available anymore. It's username/password and that's about it.

I use kdm and it's there...I'm surprised that they would remove it from
gdm. Otherwise, run system-config-switchdesk and tell it to use GNOME

yum install switchdesk switchdesk-gui
