Yes, that's my situation: I also upgraded to Glibc 2.4 & KDE 3.5.3 ;
IIRC the only additional problem was a tiny glitch with Krusader,
which wasn't really related to GCC 4.1.1 .

I have a lot of "testing" packages, which run without problems.
A lot of outstanding bugs seem to affect only a few special users.
Yet again, Gentoo should make a 4th category by making "stable" = "server"
& splitting "testing" into "newly unmasked" & "desktop-ready":
many "testing" packages today are in fact desktop-ready,
ie the remaining bugs will be rare & easy to recover from.

What was your experience ?  Do you recommend others (me) to use it ?
