Kde 4

Eles já não o fazem? Esse problema já tem a ver com a distro em si
http://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/softwarecompilation.php


The current official Software Compilation consists of the following packages, many of which contain multiple applications and/or libraries:

  • KDE-Libs: The software libraries that compose the KDE Developer Platform, required by all KDE applications.
  • KDE-Base:
    • Runtime: Additional software components required by many KDE Applications to perform properly.
    • Applications: Applications that are central to a basic desktop experience, such as a file manager or web browser.
    • Workspace: The KDE Workspaces that provide the tools and user environments for a Desktop, Netbook or Mobile experience
  • KDE-Plasma-Addons: Additional themes and applets for the desktop and panel.
  • KDE-Network: Networking applications such as an instant messenger and download manager.
  • KDE-Pim: Mail client, addressbook, organizer and groupware integration.
  • KDE-Graphics: Document viewer, image viewer and selected other graphics applications.
  • KDE-Multimedia: Includes a video player as well as different audio players.
  • Phonon: Multimedia layer that supports different backends, on different operating systems, for multimedia output.
  • KDE-Accessibility: Applications to improve computer access for disabled people such as a text-to-speech system.
  • KDE-Utilities: Useful utilities like an archiving tool and a calculator.
  • KDE-Edu: Education and science applications.
  • KDE-Games: Classic and modern games.
  • KDE-Toys: KDE's fun stuff.
  • KDE-Artwork: Additional icons, styles, wallpapers, screensavers and window decorations.
  • KDE-Admin: Various tools to aid with system administration.
  • KDE-SDK: Script and tools which simplify development of KDE applications.
  • KDE-Bindings: bindings for various programming languages (Python, Ruby, Perl, Java...).
Da compilação oficial actual tirava: KDE Edu, KDE Games, KDE Toys, KDE-Multimedia. E mais algumas coisas também podiam ser removidas. Gostava de ver uma distro que removesse isso. Além disso podiam simplificar o look em algumas coisas (tipo esconder melhor as opções não usadas no Dolphin por exemplo), usar um launcher diferente como o Takeoff ou o Lancelot porque o que têm correntemente é horrendo.
Básicamente é isto.

Como eu disse, depende da distro que estejas a usar. Os developers do kde já fizeram isso. Agora depende das distros como disponibilizam os pacotes.
O que obviamente acontece se instalares uma distro "já feita" com kde provavelmente irá ter o kde lá todo metido. Dificilmente acontece se instalares apenas por ti. Como por exemplo Gentoo, arch, slack, e por ai
 
Já testei em VM. Não se nota praticamente nada de diferente em relação ao 4.8. O que é bom... :P Significa que está tudo mais estável e a funcionar bem.

Sinceramente em Linux, agora que o Gnome foi por água abaixo, este é o único desktop moderno e ao mesmo tempo usável... vá o Unity nem é mau de todo (mas se desse para mudar mais umas coisinhas, como a posição do launcher, gostava mais) mas o Gnome Shell é uma desgraça, pelo menos out-of-the-box.
