There is another post I sent about the time you were typing yours.  So, 
we have a little crossing in the mail here.  I re-emerged Konqueor and 
kpatience and they seem to close fine, at least the once I did test 
anyway.  I'm in the process of rebuilding the rest of KDE now.

I have not noticed any other issues with KDE 4.6 either.  It seems to 
work fine to me.  No clue if something under the hood is broken tho.

When I upgraded to KDE4, I started with a fresh .kde folder.  I just 
copied over stuff for Kopete and a couple other things.  KDE seemed to 
work better.  I don't use Kmail or anything so there isn't much to copy 
over.

Also, Konqueror runs as root here.  I use it to edit config files and 
such.  Dolphin wasn't working for me to well so I went back to 
Konqueror.  I did test Dolphin the other day tho, it seems to be much 
better.  I just don't like the way the box on the left is set up.  Sort 
of working on changing that around a bit.

I suspect that when this recompile gets done, things will work better.
