I read on various blogs (especially Gentoo-related :P) that "KDE 4.3.4 |
2 |
works just fine with Qt 4.6". |

If you were about to upgrade, spare yourselves some headaches. It does |
5 |
not work "just fine." On first sight, it does seem to work, but if you |
6 |
look a bit better, it does not. Symptoms of using KDE 4.3 with Qt 4.6: |
7 |
|
8 |
* Logging out of KDE takes half a minute. |
9 |
* Amarok takes ages to load. |
10 |
* The text on (Oxygen) push buttons is not centered. |
11 |
* Fonts and shapes appear somewhat messed up (e.g., the tray clock). |
12 |
* Global shortcuts (like CTRL+ESC to start "System Activity") stop |
13 |
working after a few hours of uptime. |

There might be more, but I didn't stay around long enough to find out. |
16 |
I reverted to Qt 4.5. Note that I *did* a full rebuild of all packages |
17 |
that depend on Qt, including all of KDE of course ("equery depends" is |
18 |
your friend). |

Bottom line, KDE 4.3 *does* work with Qt 4.6, but it does *not* work |
21 |
"just fine" (there's a big difference between "works" and "works fine"). |
