I recently did an emerge update world that upgraded KDE to 4.4.3 (276 |
| 2 |
packages). The emerge completed successfully, and I logged out and back in to |
| 3 |
KDE. I have noticed two problems so far: |

|
| 5 |
1. I frequently use my desktop remotely via tightvnc and x11vnc, and now using |
| 6 |
the shift key to enter upper case letters and shifted numeric keys (!@#$%^, |
| 7 |
etc.) no longer works. I cannot enter my password to login without pressing |
| 8 |
shift-lock for the upper case letters. Fortunately, my password doesn't |
| 9 |
require special characters above the numeric keys, or I wouldn't even be able |
| 10 |
to login to KDE. I don't know if this problem also occurs at the console, as |
| 11 |
I haven't been able to visit the physical site yet. |

Have any others seen this behavior? |

2. Kmail starts, but does not display the contact list because it says the |
| 16 |
akonadi server is not functional. I had previously disabled nepomuk because |
| 17 |
its memory and CPU consumption were annoying. Now it seems that akonadi won't |
| 18 |
even function unless nepomuk is enabled. |

Are there any work-arounds to this? |
