Yes, Semagic's a dog's breakfast. All of the bells & whistles take up far too much screen. While you can hide that part of the dialog with F5, it's a bit rubbish. On the other hand it mostly works.
Logjam's nicer in that regard, although being a GTK+ app, it does pull in half of Gnome if you want to run it on a KDE box.
There is no LJ client for KDE[1]. Or rather, one that speaks Blogger ought to work. I wrote my own in the end because I wanted all the LJ-specific bits to work.
XJournal works well enough. Vague compromise between Logjam and Semagic, in that it could take up a lot less screen-space if one could replace the icons with text.
(But then I prefer my text-mangling apps to be very little else than the text-input widget itself.)
KDE is a Linux distro? Assuming you use Fx as a browser, Deepest Sender is a plugin for Fx that works fairly well—I use it for about 1/2 the posts I write, I use the update page for the other half, as ljaddons doesn't work within the DS window and I've carved a pile of insets for myself.
You'd think that mind, given the fun I had getting some non-packaged apps to run under FreeBSD. Still, the meta-port for 3.x was Good Enough. I know not the state of 4.x, though.
