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"). |
