I've been using 3.5.10 since 080924 without any problems:
just update to that & then try emerging 4.2.0 .
My feeling remains that KDE 4 is more eye-candy than useful,
but I do understand the KDE team's motivation for developing it
& no doubt it will supersede KDE 3 over the next year or so.
My plan is to try out 4.2.1 when it's released & gets into testing.
