Hi there! |

It's done! I'm at ~x86 now. The upgrade went quite smooth - had to resolve |
| 4 |
some blockers, and mask the new x.org 1.7 because it does not work at all |
| 5 |
with ati-drivers. |

**BUT:** After rebooting, I ran into a very nasty KDE4 bug. All |
| 8 |
authentication dialogs did not work. So I had no KDE wallet, no kmail, no |
| 9 |
kopete, no webmail... now this was annoying! Must be some strange side |
| 10 |
effect, I do not think anything of KDE itself had been updated. |
| 11 |

I spent quite some time trying to solve this. Without an existing ~/.kde4 |
| 13 |
directory, it worked, but all of my .kde4 backups (I have lots, I make one |
| 14 |
whenever I save the session, because this does not work sometimes) had the |
| 15 |
problem. So I searched for the file in ~/.kde4 that was responsible for |
| 16 |
it, and finally I found .kde4/share/config/kdeglobals. And, more |
| 17 |
prrecisely, this setting: |

EchoMode=ThreeStars |

I commented this out, and all is working again. Yes, I will file a bug |
| 23 |
report upstream. |

This kind of bug is what made me not switch to KDE for a long time. The |
| 26 |
possibility of suddenly having a little problem which makes the whole KDE |
| 27 |
thing unusable until solved. |
