It's pretty good. It would be amazing except that I'm suffering from 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203362 - which is a pain.

Still, Arora is pretty good. And you have to admit that "version 0.2" is not 
something to make you want to jump

Different windows, too. It's even a problem now. If you have rekonq as default 
browser and open on, say, desktop 4, go to another desktop and open a link 
from kmail, akregator... Not much seems to be happening, because the link 
actually opens in desktop 4.
