14 FWIW, I worked hard to narrow down the following bug and get it filed, as
15 I'd consider it a 4.6.2 stabilization blocker here. But I didn't make it
16 block anything as I figured that was for you gentoo/kde devs to decide.
17 Still, getting a comment one way or the other on whether you guys at least
18 see it and simply don't consider it a blocker would be nice.

26 I filed the bug upstream as well (URL link in the above bug). It only
27 affects "multiscreen" mode, so may not be considered a blocker for gentoo
28 stabilization. But given that I've narrowed it down to the specific
29 library file, and to the changes between 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, I'd think it'd
30 be a relatively easy spot-and-patch, for someone familiar with the code,
31 and not /too/ difficult even for someone who actually codes C++ even if
32 they're not immediately familiar with the code. So hopefully it'll be
33 easy enough to fix, even if simply to revert a commit between the two
34 versions (I tried to find kde's sources web-view links in ordered to see
35 what those commits might be, but they hid it well enough on kde.org that I
36 couldn't find it, and as I don't really read C++...), and won't hold up
37 stabilization much if at all.
