Flicker is really great when sharing photos over friends and families. I love the resize feature of Flickr.*;:

…but yes, it’s visually cool…and improved a lot from the first relase.

Every thing in Kde 4.2 leaves a precarity sensation.
The tray icons flickering (not only on minimize but every 2-3 second: very annoying)
Plasma crashes are frequent and related to events of other damnly buggy apps like KOPETE (i hate it)
Millions of little windows of notifications appears on the screen even if completely unnecessary (eg. I have the amarok window ahead, I switch a song…and every f***’n time the OSD come out telling me the exact same information that I can read myself in the main window!)
Dolphin run in fullscreen at his discretion and there’s no way to move, resize or minimize the window because no window border is displayed
When I open more then 5-10 or more windows is a disaster of problems, in gnome i can open how many apps I want without problem.
Gnome was and remains always the better DE on linux.

I tried, and I had problems too. I had the flicker problem in system tray when I minimize/maximize an application. And I have problems with flickering in taskbar when I max/min windows apps.
