One would hope... but obviously 'make check' didn't get run enough on 
3.5. And I'd *still* run it - on a clean system - as part of creating 
tarballs, in case everyone thinks their changes are "trivial". :-)

Note: I'm not really complaining*. KDE 3.5 is the way it is, and 
bitching won't fix it (and I'm already actually *working* on it...). 
We're just discussing what can be done to avoid it happening in KDE4.

(* OK, the first post (not in this thread, but the previous one) was 
complaining, but I'm in the 'acceptance' stage now.)
