Fair enough, it takes time to make things work. But it's nearly a year
now since KDE 4.0 was released? ;-)

Also, I was under the impression that KDE 4.2 was released yesterday,
that the kde-redhat rpms are built using that code base and that KDE 4.2
is a 'stable' release? (Although quite what constitutes a stable
upstream KDE release is lost on me these days.) Unless the 'bugs' are
caused by the way the release is being packaged for Fedora, I'm not
really sure I understand your, "making it work takes time", comment.

The work is appreciated. Keep at it. Hopefully by a 4.3 release the
desktop will be feature complete and "just working".

With any degree of certainty, I cannot say. I'll try again when KDE 4.2
is in Fedora stable and bz any remaining problems.
