Like I said, it was *old* ;-)
I must admit, I was surprised at the monochrome icons on the main menus (e.g. to select applications or whatever the other options along the bottom are) when I first ran startkde - I had forgotten that colour only came with later versions, at least in my builds (that was probably because I added other dependencies over the months). I'll give the current version a try in a few days on my haswell, if I don't throw opensuse out of the pram again - it looked ok, if rather old (gcc-4.8) but would not install with less than its decided 58GB - of that, only about 2GB was used, so I was stupid enough to believe I could run parted (not gparted) to shrink it - I would still be keying 'y' to e2fsck if I had not removed it [ ostensibly, a bad superblock because bigger than the partitions, so the first question is 'abort?' - only after that is 'y' required ]. All good experience :-p But first I've got to finish building on my i3 (nearly ready to boot!) where I will (hopefully) confirm that the packages for which I grabbed the tickets seem to work. Fortunately, I avoided llvm-3.8 (configure is now deprecated, which for me will mean a big rearrangement of my build order).
