I’ve been looking for some programs to restore functionality I lost when I left kde 3.5. glipper is an ok clipboard history application. although each entry only gets 99 characters. liferea is almost as good an RSS Reader as akregator-kde3 (and MUCH better than akregator-kde4). evolution is a mixed bag. it’s great for contacts, calendars, and imap, but LDAP won’t work, so no corporate address book, which is going to be a problem.

the first one I tried, liferea, has most of the good points from the kde 3.5 akregator: feeds with unread articles stand out with bold text, and the number of unread articles is tucked up next to the title. if there are no unread articles, there is no number. simple yet effective and readable at a glance.
