Wayland is the reason that I switched from fvwm to kde.  It still doesn't
work with NVIDIA, but I have a Radeon card now and it works.  Even the
panel now hides.  Now I'm wondering how to get rid of the transparancy
in dolphin and some other windows ...  what a totally stupid idea is it
to make windows transparent??

Maybe it's because of NVIDIA.

Kmail keeps messing up it's database, even when using mariadb.  That
must be badly programmed since it doesn't even distinguish upper and
lower case for table names ...

Kmail --- or aconadi --- just doesn't work.  Besides, it's really awful
because it creates files with settings all over the place so it's even
very difficult to get rid of all the settings when you want to start over
with kmail.  That's the kind of mess which is one of the reasons not
to use windows since windows 3.1.
