41 I have both kde-3.5.10 and kde-4.1.2 and there are a couple of small
42 incompatibilities... and that's why they are still masked. If I recall
43 right... I had to upgrade to the latest ~x86 portage and then I had to iron
44 out kopete for both versions of kde... No show stoppers, but there are a few
45 issues you'll have to iron out.
46
47 Sorry, I made no notes... but in my MOST HUMBLE opinion... there's no reason
48 to not to try kde-4.1.2.
