works great one ebuild or so from over 200 did not work (kfloppy which I don't |
| 15 |
need anyway) --ignore-failures (with pkgcore) or keep-going (portage) are your |

friends. |

kde 4.1 works very well. There is a kwin crash on logout - but that is easy to |

deal with - click away the info box and logout/shutdown proceeds. |

There is only one annoying bug: |
| 22 |
kmail/konqueror/kopete/kio_http/kio_pop3/kwallet aren't really quit if you |
| 23 |
close their window and accumulate over time. The bug is already reported. It |
| 24 |
does not hurt much - once in a while a killall is needed. Maybe a kde4.1 bug |
| 25 |
or a glibc bug - I don't know. |
