Does 4.1 solves or provide:

[Derick Centeno]

I'm running YDL 4.1 on a 1.67 GHz PB.  It runs better than what YDL 4.0 
did.

Unfortunately, I cannot list all the problems YDL 4.0 had on my PB; all 
I can admit is that YDL 4.1 is much better.

Although I have enjoyed KDE with it's musical charms; Gnome get's done 
all the jobs I want done without distracting me with pretty this or 
that.
Gnome is not unattractive or unpleasant, it doesn't however attempt to 
be as "pretty and cute" as KDE tries to be with music and bouncing 
icons and all.

Depending upon your taste another WM which may interest you and not get 
in your way is Enlightenment (www.enlightenment.org).

Sadly when a WM tries to be the next OS X or Windows -- as KDE seems to 
be going the direction of -- there will be, in my opinion, misuse of 
system resources.

Sleep mode in YDL 4.1 is fine; I think however a little refinement 
regarding the screen saver would be nice.  This doesn't bother me as 
I'm not interested in watching the screen saver anyway.  When the 
screen goes black when screen saver activates it's probably better that 
way anyway.  I haven't yet set up my old 233MHz G3 tower as a desktop 
system running the current version of YDL; frankly I'm satisfied with 
how it works from the PB such that putting YDL onto that very old 
machine is more work than worthwhile right now.

I'm sure others on this list will happily share their experiences.

Good Luck ....
