[gentoo-user] Heads up: KDE 4.3 does *not* work OK with Qt 4.6
I read on various blogs (especially Gentoo-related :P) that KDE 4.3.4 works just fine with Qt 4.6. If you were about to upgrade, spare yourselves some headaches. It does not work just fine. On first sight, it does seem to work, but if you look a bit better, it does not. Symptoms of using KDE 4.3 with Qt 4.6: * Logging out of KDE takes half a minute. * Amarok takes ages to load. * The text on (Oxygen) push buttons is not centered. * Fonts and shapes appear somewhat messed up (e.g., the tray clock). * Global shortcuts (like CTRL+ESC to start System Activity) stop working after a few hours of uptime. There might be more, but I didn't stay around long enough to find out. I reverted to Qt 4.5. Note that I *did* a full rebuild of all packages that depend on Qt, including all of KDE of course (equery depends is your friend). Bottom line, KDE 4.3 *does* work with Qt 4.6, but it does *not* work just fine (there's a big difference between works and works fine).

If you were about to upgrade, spare yourselves some headaches. It does not work just fine. On first sight, it does seem to work, but if you look a bit better, it does not. Symptoms of using KDE 4.3 with Qt 4.6: * Logging out of KDE takes half a minute. Maybe, didn't measure the time. * Amarok takes ages to load. Yes. * The text on (Oxygen) push buttons is not centered. It is here. * Fonts and shapes appear somewhat messed up (e.g., the tray clock). Not here. Tray clock sometimes messed up with TQ 4.5, too. * Global shortcuts (like CTRL+ESC to start System Activity) stop working after a few hours of uptime. Works fine here, even after days of uptime. There might be more, but I didn't stay around long enough to find out. I reverted to Qt 4.5.

Bottom line, KDE 4.3 *does* work with Qt 4.6, but it does *not* work just fine (there's a big difference between works and works fine). And there's also a big difference between works fine for me and works fine for you, it seems ;) Bye... Dirk
