The fix is worked on upstream, Matthew Garrett has patches submitted, concerns
by EFI maintainer but seems we could get at least some patches soon in case
we will need it, not sure how soon. Jwb thinks the impact could be low, I
hope we will get more info from Peter/Mathew. Also Kamil hit some UEFI bugs.

ValueError: Cannot remove extended partition sda4. Logical partitions present.

dlehman has a working fix in case we will need it (and no workaround is known)

kactivitymanagerd crashed on KDE start, running debug kernel

Seems like not very reproducible even with debug kernel enabled and somehow
related to disabling services - non default configuration?

Fedora 19 RC1 - Cannot open theme file /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/SphericalCow 
- Wrong default theme

The RC1 is broken, regression as schroedinger-cat-kde-theme-18.91.5-1.fc19 and 
kde-settings-19-16.fc19 were not picked up (part of TC4+).

So at least the last one is fixable just by requesting a new compose with correct
kde theme and kde settings. For Anaconda one, we have a fix, thanks dlehman!

So please, let feedback on the proposed bugs, don't forget the Go/No-Go meeting
is in two days!

Thanks guys
