Uh, I am running KDE 4 for half a year now, but it still lacks stability. I 
still like it, and I can live with that, and also had some problems with 
KDE3, so I just jumped to the next version. But I can understand why people 
are disappointed with it and stick to KDE3. So, emerging KDE4 probably is a 
good idea, but unless you need to remove it, I would keep KDE3 for a while. 
I have both, and no problems.

I think I have to do some bug reports now. I have a loong list of KDE4 
problems I noted, and I hoped switching from 4.2 to 4.3 would solve many of 
them, but actually not much did change. Well, at last konqueror's bookmark 
editor is working now, this was annoying and made me wonder why such a bug 
made it into a release.

I really, really depend on Kmail and to some extent on Konqueror
(fish, webdav and also as a file manager).  This is an old laptop
overdue for replacement - so could hold onto KDE3.5 with this one and
jump straight into KDE4 when I buy a new laptop within a month or so.

How is Kmail/Konqueror behaving on KDE4?

 How is Kmail/Konqueror behaving on KDE4?

Kmail is running fine. There are some problems, but there also were with 
3.5, it crashed quite often, sometimes several times a day. With version 4, 
I had a single crash only.

My bug list for kontact/kmail:
- I can have multiple mail folders opened at once, which is nice, but new 
mails do not appear then. They show up in the folder tree, but so display 
them, I have to change into another folder and than back.
- While fetching new mail, I cannot open a new mail folder.
- New folders (created on the IMAP mail server) are not shown automatically.
- I can search for messages, but cannot open the ones I found.
- Saved attachments were empty, but I cannot reproduce that now, it's 
probably fixed.
- Sometimes when logging in, kontact complains it is already running and 
asks whether it should really be started. If I say yes, it crashes, if I say 
no, it does not start. No problem when starting manually the nest time.

Konqueror is great. New features:
- It allows opening of recently closed objects.
- When it dies, at next start a dialog asks whether the last session should 
be restored. The restored session also has all the history, so I can use the 
back button.

Konqueror bugs:
- I always have garbage in the status line, showing parts of other opened 
tabs.
- Sometimes, a tab has scrolling problems. That is, I scroll down a little, 
but only the very top ob the page is updated. If I scroll fast, more is 
updated, if I scroll a whole page down, the display is okay. Workaround is 
to open the same page in a new tab.
- When saving images by drag'nDrop into a dolphin folder I am always being 
asked whether to copy, move or to crate a shortcut, even if I press the Ctrl 
key.
- For a few times, the mouse vanished when inside konqueror. Did not happen 
since I use 4.3.
- With KDE  4.3, the bookmark editor crashes when moving a second entry to 
another location.
- Also with KDE  4.3, mouse gestures in konqueror did not work at all, but 
this is fixed.
- Oh, and also the fish:// protocol is working again!

So, these are minor problems only, both kmail and konqueror run better than 
in KDE 3.5, at least for me. But I do not use konqueror as file manager any 
more, I am trying out dolphin.

Sounds promising - I've had no Kmail 3.5 crashes that I can think of

 How is Kmail/Konqueror behaving on KDE4?
 

KMail is fine on 4.3.2. I had issues with it randomly crashing when I moved 
mails around, but that seems to have been sorted with the latest version.

Konqueror - well now, that's a different story:

- web shortcuts (gg:  wp:  etc) do not work. At all. Period.
- randomly suddenly using 100% cpu when visiting forum sites (NO flash). Only 
workaround is to kill konqueror
- fish:// does not work
- last merged toolbar item in toolbars randomly moves around, often triggered 
by switching between filemanager and browser modes
- plugin support is awful. Forget AJAX, it does not work which counts out 
gmail and half the support sites I use at work

Oh dear!  Have you confirmed these on different machines - just in case?

I have removed pambase from world (how did that end up in there?) and
rebuilt PyQt4 with sql and webkit, as well as net-libs/libgadu with
threads that came up when I tried to run update world.  Now I have a
lorry load of KDE4 packages wanting to be installed:

238 packages (3 upgrades, 131 new, 103 in new slots, 1 reinstall, 2
uninstalls), Size of downloads: 484,302 kB

I will probably have to face this sooner rather than later.  What's

I also had some problems, when moving some thousands of IMAP mails, but I

 Konqueror - well now, that's a different story:

They do here. I have configured them to have a blank as separator instead of

Either merge soprano with USE=redland or set USE=-semantic-desktop

The only time you need it, and you'll have to unmask the flag to do so,

 How should I tell it not to?

Use the --tree option with emerge to see what is bringing these in (KDE4
doesn't try to merge lilo here) and read the ebuilds if it is still not
clear.

 The only time you need it, and you'll have to unmask the flag to do so,
 is if you are using two different KDE4 slots, like 4.3 and 4.2.

Ah, ok.

 You should add -mysql for the package app-office/akonadi-server instead.

This looks more promising, thanks.  Still pam seems to be getting
confused (well pambase may not be, but I am because all sort of other
packages are now being dragged in - please see below).  Am I losing my
touch with portage-foo or is my otherwise stable system in need of
some fix?

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

This all started this morning after an eix-sync crashed on me because the 
laptop run out of battery.  I removed /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk and 
resync'ed after that - so I don't believe that this is what caused this mess.

I have also remerged portage and eix.  What else is there to try to fix this 
problem?

why do you have pambase in world?

 sys-auth/pambase[consolekit] required by 
 ('ebuild', '/', 'net-wireless/bluez-4.39-r2', 'merge')

It looks like you need to re-emerge pambase with USE=consolekit.

You need to re-emerge PyQt4 with USE=sql webkit, or you could install
kdebase-meta with USE=-python.

Thanks Neil,

Could it be that all this is caused by KDE-4.3 going stable?  Perhaps I should 
now bite the bullet unmerge all my KDE-3.5 packages and start a mammoth 
emerge of KDE-4 ?
