Hmmm, KDevelop seems to be working on my machine and I did a --nodeps to
avoid installing apmd, just on kdeutils. I also violated my own advice and
left 2.0.1 Quanta and KOffice on and THEY work very well indeed. Of course,
since you don't test, you might not be used to removing just those packages
one intends to install. I wasn't sure it would work this way, but it did. I
ripped out each kde package individually, with a --nodeps on removal where
necessary, then installed KDE2.1 packages without any problem after the
kdeutils and moving the package to a directory marked /done.
Crashtesters report no additional bugs to the earlier reports here.
The report of testing the kde packages is at
http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~civileme/kde_test_results
That URL opens right to the text with Konqueror from 2.1.

Additional reports are welcome, of course. I cannot possibly duplicate all
the system setups out there.
