Just a heads up for the brave souls who are going to give this a shot,
upgrading to 3.1.93 from the stock KDE breaks some stuff (not
surprisingly).
I installed the packages on a basically clean setup of Core 1, and the
menu entries got slightly screwed up, various KDE apps crash randomly,
and for some reason any OpenGL-based program (tuxracer, celestia, etc)
crash immediately. Additionally, the repository does not offer any
yum/apt headers (as I write this) so you'll have to do some command-line
RPM finagling for everything to work.
In spite of all that, I must say I'm quite impressed with the new
version. Lots of little improvements to the UI as well as a slightly
snappier responsiveness make it worth the hassles (at least for us
bleeding-edge fetishists :)
