I didn't know that it also affected stable. I'll modify the FAQ accordingly.
KDE in unstable has been fixed, and is due to be moved over shortly. Similarly, sawfish in unstable has been switched. Dave Morrison has a package to check this out, but he is holding off on releasing it until the newer version of KDE is moved over to stable. If you aren't subscribed to fink-devel check the archive--search on "libpng". You may want to try it, but read Dave's message first--the script is confused about the old KDE.
