Yes, thanks for pointing that out, everybody. :)

Nice. :)
Maybe it's time to give KDE4 another try. Its' graphics performance
seems be to have been improved with Release 4.2 anyway (at least I've
been told), and my last test was with an early 4.0 release. My wifes'
laptop is on Linux for some time now, and I already noticed that
nspluginwrapper + flash plugin are stable even after updates.
