Hi,

I'm using kde 4.10.0 for a while now on both f17 and rawhide - skipped f18 
because of crashing openGL driver - and IMHO KDE is back on a level one would 
expect from a 10th series. It works great again! No log in delays - which was 
clearly not pulseaudio's fault - no kmail off lines, or nepomuk crashes. Yes, 
I've seen no nepomuk crashes since I use 4.10.0 :-)

Just two points of attention wrt f17:

1. kde-print-manager-4.10.0-1.fc17.x86_64 didn't replace kde-printer-applet 
and system-config-printer-kde. I had to do this manually.
2. kdenetwork-* packages are still version 4.9.5.

So I would recommend: Push kde 4.10 as soon as possible.

Thanks for the wonderful work!

BTW: I upgraded as follows:
1. downloaded kde.repo -> copied it to /etc/yum.repos.d
2. yum clean-all
3. yum update
